About

Use Facebook to live stream a chat, show, Q&A, or virtual event, or sell products through a live video. Learn how to make personal connections and create shared experiences with Facebook Live. You can go live on your Page, group, profile, or event using the Facebook app on your mobile device or by using a camera and streaming software (also known as an "encoder"). If you want to broadcast live with a camera and encoder, you should use Live Producer. If you go live from a desktop or laptop, you'll automatically be directed to Live Producer, which is also the way to go live on Facebook with higher-end production equipment and streaming software. With live polls, easily create polls before a broadcast starts and share them with fans during the broadcast.

About

A new kind of broadcast studio. Start a simple stream with no software downloads! The best encoding settings available on your computer are automatically selected. Lightstream monitors for any hiccups in your internet connection and will automatically adjust bitrate to keep your stream from buffering. Our cloud engines take on the majority of the compositing and encoding so your computer doesn’t have to. The latest encoding technologies mean better quality video with less cpu needed. Land a great interview for your show? Want to game with friends? Send a simple link to remotely add their camera to your stream as if you were in the same room. Stay in the zone – no need to alt-tab out to update your stream. Use your phone or tablet to start, stop, and switch scenes. Just getting started? Have some questions? Reach out anytime with live chat support in the bottom right corner of the editor!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use when it actually works. Other than that not much is really good about it. It rarely does.
  • Very easy to broadcast to a live audience on the largest scale possible. Have a great audience reach.
  • It is easy to use in the application or with a computer system internet browser, and also quite reliable. Furthermore, the analysis and metrics offered are extremely valuable, as well as allowing you to customize your discussion to better reach your target market. In addition, I particularly valued the choice of using a wireless microphone connected to a laptop for the programs; this has ensured that our visitors hear with exceptional quality.
  • Simple as it Works from within Facebook. Easy to get audience. Works from both desktop and mobile. Supports multi stream softwares like Restream.
  • Easy to use. Works right from Facebook website or app itself. Decent video quality & low bandwidth usage. Watch party feature.

Cons

  • No reach, viewers, visibility, hides comments, cuts out, kicks off viewers, cuts out sound.
  • The support feature provided by Facebook can be improved.
  • Sometimes it will certainly remove a longer webcast, however, there are ways to resolve this hassle. Analyzes are also not readily available on the mobile app, you can only access them on a computer system. Not a big problem, but it would certainly be appropriate to be able to consult them on the go, rather than having to wait until you are back at work.
  • No analytics feature. Full of low quality streams ( content wise ).
  • Needs moderation on content . No innovative features. Doesn't not allow collaborative streaming - like Squad streaming feature of twitch.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing it's entirely horrible. Bad service. Doesn't work. Rude support agents. No assistance whatsoever.

Cons

  • Did not work at all. I followed all of their instructions, adjusted DNS settings, etc and it never added my overlays. Added my PS5 to my DMZ with a public facing IP and still doesn't work.
