There is a spec for this plugin, from where you can deduce its working:

github.com/discourse/discourse-livestream

spec/lib/discourse_livestream/handle_topic_chat_channel_creation_spec.rb

main

# frozen_string_literal: true

RSpec.describe DiscourseLivestream do
  describe ".handle_topic_chat_channel_creation" do
    let(:topic) { Fabricate(:topic) }

    context "when the topic has no category" do
      it "does not create a chat channel" do
        described_class.handle_topic_chat_channel_creation(topic)

        expect(Chat::Channel.count).to eq(0)
      end
    end

    context "when the topic has a category" do
      let(:category) { Fabricate(:category) }

      before { topic.update!(category: category) }

      context "when the topic has no 'livestream' tag" do

I’ve tried to use ChatGPT for a how-to, but most of it seems to be hallucinations.

I would have expected:

Add the tag livestream to a topic to create a connected chat channel.
The topics author will be subscribed to this channel automatically.
