Does Lichess have problems for me to broadcast my games on YouTube, with live chat?

I have doubts about the correctness or incorrectness of transmitting, live on YouTube, a rated game (or not) that I am playing with active chat.

It seems that a lot of people do it, without the need for permissions, and with the chat open, and therefore there are user comments about the game.

Naturally I am not going to take advantage of user comments, although it will be inevitable to read them, and Trolls may also appear trying to annoy the broadcast, or the protagonist, telling him moves, and making Lichess complaints possible.

Anyway! How do I approach this issue? MY IDEA is to broadcast my games, commenting on them, and with the chat open. What should or can I do about it? Is there a Lichess page informing about this matter?
No problem streaming games, but you should get mods to delete and give anyone that suggests moves in chat a small timeout so they learn not to do that. Now you being a streamer you can still see the deleted messages but once the viewers understand suggesting moves is a big fat nono they'll quit doing that and you'll be safe.
Thanks. Yes, more or less I have experience on that. I would just like to make sure, getting closer information to someone responsible for Lichess (or other sites, in general).

I suppose the issue is problematic, but usually no tangible difficulties arise (although of course a lot of people must be having problems or complaints).

Maybe something like "If there is a problem or suspicion, Lichess will send you a warning and you will have time to rectify". What I don't want is to suddenly see myself involved in something insurmountable.
It's not problematic at all, just get the mods to do the work and you'll be fine.

This is from chesscom, and I don't think lichess has any specifics on the matter other than don't get outside help.

"Are streamers cheating when they get suggestions from viewers?
If you've ever watched a chess streamer, you may have noticed that viewers like to post possible moves in the chat. If the streamers use these moves, does that count as cheating?

The short answer is, in most cases, no. The majority of popular streamers are very high rated, and most suggestions would come from lower rated players who are putting their ideas out there in an effort to learn.

In the few cases where an official Chess.com partnered streamer is a lower rated player, these streamers have special allowances for entertainment purposes, to account for the small likelihood that the streamer is able to determine at a glance what move out of the many suggestions is a good suggestion.

If you feel you have encountered a streamer who is playing unfairly, please contact support. However, simply seeing some moves posted in the chat is a part of live streaming, and not something that can be avoided! "
