Once streaming has begun, it has nothing to do with host/co-host bandwidth, as the host/co-host only triggers the start session, which starts the streaming as well.
For every mapped session, a new post is created and streamed.
Recommended not to take any breaks during a session that is being streamed. If the break is extended for more than 2 minutes, a new post will be published on your Facebook page/profile.
If the session was ended by the event host, the Facebook livestream would stop immediately.
It is advisable not to use any copyrighted content while streaming, as it may block your live streaming by the Facebook platform.
