I am not sure if there is anything I can do. Our elementary school is doing a live broadcast of the 5th grade graduation. I did a test run on a youtube livestream and it lost connection twice, only for a few seconds. Everything else seemed to work great. Youtube said the signal strength was "Excellent" the entire time aside from the mishaps. Is there a way to prevent loss of video if that happens? It was for like 5 seconds each time. Or, am I at the mercey of my internet (30-40mps but should be more, calling them) Here is the report.

 
The log doesn't show any disconnections, however there were times the bitrate dropped due to congestion.

01:33:23.783: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Interface: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 (802.11, 9 mbps)

Wireless is not great for streaming and the speed seems particularly bad in this case. Try to use a cable if you can, or make sure you're connecting only to 5 GHz wireless which will perform better.
