Frequently Asked Questions

I bought a live stream pass, now what? Sit tight! Prior to the shows (around July 21), you will receive an email with the YouTube streaming links for each of the four shows.
Will the streams be accessible? All four shows will have live ASL on-stage and in-frame for the stream. The first three streaming shows (Seattle, DC, Chicago) will have auto-generated captions. The fourth show (Toronto) will have human-transcribed captions. None will have audio description, but any pre-recorded video segments used during the shows will.
Will there be nudity? No, we're saving that stuff for the inevitable Squeaky Wheel OnlyFans.
Will there be explicit language? Yes.
How much should I pay? That’s totally up to you! All donations go directly to our nonprofit organization to support our work.
What about the other two shows? The other two SqueakyFest shows will be streamed separately through the venue and require a separate ticket.
Can I share the YouTube streaming links privately or publicly? Our livestreams are open to all and you are encouraged to share the links, but please remind your friends to donate if they can and/or subscribe to our YouTube!
Will this be a seamless and perfectly accessible streaming experience? Probably not, but we’ll try our best! This is our first time streaming in this manner and we are doing this as a group of ragtag disabled volunteers so please have patience if you encounter any issues with stream quality, captions, or link access. For any questions or errors, email steven@thesqueakywheel.org.
