How to use

  • You and your backup plan (2 items): Have water and snacks nearby; Backup plan ready if tech fails

Limitations

  • It does not know which streaming software or platform you use, so settings are for you to check.
  • It does not test your equipment or connection. It only reminds you to check them.
  • Ticks are saved only in this browser on this device.

FAQs

Q: Does the checklist change with my situation?
A: No. It starts as one list of 15 items. It does not ask questions or adapt, but you can add your own items and remove the ones you do not need.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: How do I start again?
A: Untick the items you have done. Clearing your browser data for this site also removes the saved ticks.
