Repair device, browser, provider, network, entitlement, language, and ownership failures reported by preflight.

Best for: Organization administrators, event producers, live operators, and authorized support staff.

Before you start

Event access and actions depend on organization role, team scope, plan entitlements, limits, and current event state.

  • Use an individual verified account in the correct organization and team.
  • Confirm the event owner, live operator, output owner, and incident authority.
  • Review the current configuration before changing an existing or live event.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Device permission. Grant browser/OS microphone access, close competing apps, select the intended input, and confirm meter.
  2. Missing/busy device. Reconnect cable/driver, refresh the device list, stop another application, and reselect.
  3. Provider/credentials. Validate BYOK or platform funding, region, API/IAM, quota, and provider health.
  4. Language configuration. Select a supported source and targets within plan/provider limits.
  5. Network. Verify DNS, HTTPS, WebSocket/proxy/firewall, stable bandwidth, and correct system clock.
  6. Entitlement/usage. Check plan feature, add-on, wallet, quota, and role permission.
  7. Live ownership. Coordinate with the current host; recover, use Remote Control, or take over only by policy.
  8. Output readiness. Enable/configure required destination and verify its final receiver.
  9. Rerun one change at a time. Preserve evidence when a failure persists.

After the fix: The event reaches the intended saved or live state, and every required operator can verify the result without receiving unnecessary access.

Confirm the fix

  • The specific failed dependency passes and the full preflight returns an understood result.

If the problem continues

Microphone still absent

Test OS recording settings and another supported browser/device.

Credential validates but runtime fails

Check event model/region/language/quota and provider runtime requirements.

Network only fails at venue

Engage venue IT with endpoint/port/WebSocket evidence and test a fallback path.

Escalation and safety

  • Do not weaken firewall/security globally to pass a check.
  • Protect logs and credentials.
  • Use a fallback rather than uncontrolled repeated restarts during air.
