Step 7: Select the session which you want to go live, once all the setup is done click on “Add custom RTMP” and you're good to go.

Step 8: Once the session goes live, Go back to the Facebook live stream dashboard & verify your streaming on the preview screen and click on "Go Live" which will eventually start your streaming on Facebook simultaneously.

NOTE: The maximum limit for Facebook live streaming is 8 hours/Session & It is recommended to not take a break for more than 2 mins while the session is live.

Points to keep in mind: 

• In Facebook Live, you can go live one at a time (in case of a single page), and once your first session is over then you need to regenerate the Stream key & Stream URL again and follow the above steps again.

• Stream resolution for any session stream into Facebook is a maximum of 720p.

• If the Facebook stream is pre-schedule:

  • Make sure you go live on the session at the same time the event is scheduled for.

  • It goes live automatically and stops the stream in case it doesn't get any feed from Airmeet

• Recommended not to take any break for a session that is getting streamed as if the break gets extended for more than 2 mins the stream will get stopped and needs to be refreshed from the Facebook dashboard to start the stream again or create a new stream key.

• if the session got ended by the event host, the Facebook live stream will stop, and need to regenerate the Stream key & Stream URL again and make changes in the dashboard.

Recommended to not take a break while the session is being streamed to any platform.
