Makes sense to me. The original poster did not say what kind of live stream they were attempting to access.

Far more frequently I access before the event has started. If you VO left/right around the screen you'll find a countdown clock showing time remaining before the event's scheduled start. Perhaps that's the issue? I mention that countdown clock also to note that no further action is needed. When I see that clock and verify that it's ticking down (by VO away and then back), I simply leave my Mac alone. Once the event begins, everything works as expected.
