Organization of video broadcasting
I invite the community to share their experience in the field of video broadcasts.
It may turn out to create something like a mini manual.
The scheme is simple: someone asks a question, and the one who knows the answer is to share information. And all this falls into the topic.
I'll try to start from what I learned from the tips and answers on the forums.
