Most people already have a Youtube channel associated with their personal Google account. However, there are many reasons why you want to create a separate brand channel for your videos:
We'll assume you already have a personal Youtube channel.
Make sure your'e now uploading your vacation videos to your brand channel. Always look in the top right to see what account you're in. Having a unique profile picture will help with that.
Before you can start live streams on your channel, you need to review settings and ensure you've enabled this feature. It may take up to 24 hours before live streaming is available.
Create Studio is your main control board and there are a number of settings you should review. Most importantly is enabling Live Streaming.
Artwork and a welcome video are important first points of contact when creating your brand. It's also how you can ensure you keep your audience by getting them to subscribe to your channel. The artwork is also used as a placeholder for your Youtube videos before they start.
With different devices (mobile, desktops, televisions, etc) viewing your channel, it's important you create header artwork that will work for them all. In addition to providing the ideal artwork dimensions, Youtube provides channel art templates for Photoshop and other graphic editors including the free Polarr (https://photoeditor.polarr.co/) web app.
Having a consistent naming convention not only provides cleaner looking lists, but allows you to automate adding videos to playlists. Like email, rules (or filters) can be created in playlist to automatically add videos with a specific title. When you have multiple playlists, this is a handy way to quickly add videos that appear in more than one playlist.
What do you want your visitors to see when they first come to your page? Customizing your layout ensures users are seeing the most recently uploaded videos along with your playlist.

Having different people with different roles (e.g. host, comments/chat wrangler, video switcher) can make things go a lot smoother. This also ensures someone else can take over if you aren't able to make the broadcast or run into technical issues (e.g. getting locked out after broadcast has started).
Be sure to read the different admin roles available to you before assigning access (at least Manager role to run broadcasts). Once they accept, they'll see your brand page in their account list.
