Wiethoofd I've been super spoiled with the ice hockey esports production I've been able to do the past months where the matches won't start until they have green light from production to start the search/match.
Not sure what everybody elses experience has been like but usually the producer will ask me for the stv and then that's the end of the conversation. It usually takes the players to ask production/check the stream to see if its ok to start not the other way around - would be great if production informing could be the norm, especially for the big games.
