The key to a successful live stream is preparation. You should have a clear structure of what you want to accomplish and the content you are going to deliver at each stage of the stream. Before you go live, create some notes, a set list or a script that outlines what you will be delivering to the audience.

Keep it interesting

One idea is to stop and answer some questions from the chat or bring members of the audience into the stream to share the experience with them. You could also give shoutouts to viewers who are giving Tips or feedback in the chat.

Be Authentic
