What should a family-only wedding livestream control before going live?

Answer

Direct answer

Control who can join the stream, whether it is recorded and how participants will be told before filming starts.

Use restricted access where available, share the link only with intended viewers and check what the platform exposes about guests or accounts. Brief the camera operator on areas and people not to include. A family-only description cannot prevent an authorised viewer from recording or forwarding content. Decide how the stream and any retained recording will be closed or removed after the event.
