## Frequently Asked Questions
### Will I miss the green flag if I activate now?
No. Setup completes in ≤72 seconds. We recommend starting at 17:58 UTC (15 minutes before Lap 1). Your stream auto-refreshes at 17:59:30 UTC.
### Does same-day VOD include post-race interviews?
Yes. Full post-race show (podium ceremony, driver interviews, telemetry breakdown) uploaded by 11 PM ET.
### Is this legal for personal use?
Shadowstream provides access to publicly broadcast F1 streams via licensed redistribution. Use only for private, non-commercial viewing per EU Copyright Directive 2019/790 Art. 6.

bunnystream.live is supported as secondary backend. However, shadowstream.org delivers 3.2x faster login on LG WebOS (2.1s vs 6.7s avg) and 27% lower latency during race-day peak traffic.
