How To Stream Live On Facebook - Facebook included Live Streams to their Facebook Pages. So if you own a page you can from now on start streaming on Facebook. (It may not be opened for everybody right away. And you might have to have a specific number of likes. I might not find specific details about this.).
There are a couple of constraints though and as mentioned, you need a Facebook PAGE:
To start a stream you can click "Live Video" up leading on the Facebook page, or if you have a Page you wish to Livestream on you can click "Live" in the right sidebar:.
The background will turn dark and a popup will appear that might attempt to use your webcam right away if you have actually one connected to your computer. If not you will see this picture:.
Click on "Connect" as marked in red. Now we are presented with the details we need for our streaming software application:.
Copy the Streamkey and paste it into the Streamkey area in the settings of OBS:.
Crucial: The Stream Secret can only be used for a single Live preview/post connection. You should use the very same URL and secret to sneak peek and post. That is, you can not sneak peek, stop the stream, then resume at a later time. The URL and Key also end 24 hours after production.
Make certain all your settings (Audio specifically) are all set. Scenes and sources setup need to be done prior to you begin going live. If you inadvertently stop your stream you will require to produce a brand-new live video and copy over the new stream key into the OBS settings. When all set, begin streaming in OBS. The stream will only be visible to you on the Facebook Page until you click on "Go Live".
After a few seconds you should see the following message:.
You can get in a Post message, offer the Video a title, include tags as well as tag individuals before going live. And you can also begin the Stream in your Software application and it need to appear in the Popup Window:.
There are some more options readily available in the settings, like permit embedding, trigger constant video or automated unpublishing after the video ended.
After you got in everything and if your stream is online, the "Go Live" button will be blue as you can see in this example, which suggests you are now ready to go live. Click "Go Live" to do so or click on Arrange to setup a starting time. If you go Live the Page will alter to a sneak peek of your Livestream. (See the red timer in the leading left). Make sure to mute the preview so there is no looping audio:.
You can also see comments here and of course remark yourself. After you are finished with your Stream you can click on "Complete" to stop being Live on Facebook. The video will be saved and should quickly appear in your Video Library of your Facebook Page:.
That has to do with it. You can now stream your material to Facebook and publish it on your Facebook Page. Remember, the next time you begin a Facebook stream you have to upgrade your Stream Secret.
