Unknown: Let's talk about how to schedule a facebook live stream
on the new interface here in 2020.
Now more than ever, live streaming is an integral part of
running business, especially here as everyone is stuck at
home and stay at home to keep down the spread of this
pandemic. More and more businesses need to be turning to
livestream to connect with their audience. But then even after we
go back to work, were able to go back and kind of be out in the
world and move around. Normally, more people are going to be used
to live streaming are going to have kind of adopted that it's
going to be a very useful business tool. So I want to show
you how you can use how you can schedule a live stream here on
Facebook with their brand new interface for 2020. So first
thing you're gonna do is you're gonna go down here to create
post, and you're gonna see we have the live video, we're gonna
tap that. And once we're here you can see on this interface,
we're actually Right now on the go live now, area, I'm going to
see all the information here, this is set up to use a stream
key. So normally what I use normally use a third party
system, you can also use just kind of your main camera, just
go through and select the camera, the media sources, and
you'll be able to use that or you can use a paired encoder.
But let's go to schedule a live. And you'll notice right away
when you're scheduling the live, you actually need to use a
stream key, you need to use a third party system in order to
be able to schedule that live. So that's something like the MCs
or ECAM or even Wirecast. Those are really the three I would
recommend for people. I don't recommend really any of the
others. There's a couple others out there that are suitable, but
those would be the three that I would lean towards. If you're
doing some basic stuff on a Mac go with ECAM live awesome
service, you're able to do some very basic camera switches and
lower thirds other really cool features or You can jump into
like v mix. If you're on a PC, that's the high end, that's what
I definitely recommend if you're able to do that, or if you want
to get a little fancier than he can, you can go with Wirecast.
But now let's, so let's dive in and kind of look at this. So
really, what's gonna happen here is, this is the page that you're
going to be going live on. This is your stream key, you're need
to know that. And you can set it up to use persistent key or
whatever. announcement post, this is going to show you the
time that you're going to go live. So over here, you're just
going to click this. And you're going to go through and you can
schedule your live posts up to seven days at a time. So you can
only schedule your stream seven days ahead of time. So you can't
schedule it out eight days or anything beyond seven days, even
down to the minute. So to see if I have April 14, if I try to go
to one, I can't go anywhere, but if I try to go to 21st and I try
to go instead of 914 I want to do, let's say 10 Am, it's going
to lock that out, you can't actually do that. So it has to
be seven days or sooner. But that still gives you plenty time
to promote anything, you can schedule it out and still
promote your emails. But once you do that, you're going to be
able to go you can add your video title, test, video,
video,
awesome test stream. You can also cross post to more pages or
you can share to groups and then audience settings is right here.
This is going to allow you to be public selected locations are
restricted. I'm actually because and so it's this plus 15 plus 18
plus 21 plus 25. You can kind of see minimum age there. So that's
just for the ages. So from here you can also add an image to
your live stream. So if you have a specific image you want to
show Kinda promoting that you can do that Otherwise, it'll
just pull down your cover image is what it does right now. And
use that as the main image for the announcement post, as you
can see here, it's just has pulled down the cover image,
this is exactly what your post is going to look like, awesome
test stream. And then this is and people can click this get
the reminder, that will be live the 21st at 10am and 10am. there
even though, as of right now, we're not going to be able to
schedule that. So let's just so we can kind of show you, I'm
gonna jump this back to 9am. Or I am able to do that. And this
is going to be the live tab. And then once you kind of do this
after it's scheduled, you'll have another URL right here that
you can grab and use to promote. This is the one I recommend that
you promote because sometimes you might be wanting to create
lots of live videos or if you just always want to send them to
the live tab where they could potentially see any of your live
videos or Whatever the newest live video is, that's the URL
you're going to use this for. This is the actual permanent URL
for the video that will be created once you schedule. And
as you can see, you can preview the stream 20 minutes before it
starts. And it will begin automatically at the scheduled
time. And you must go live within 10 minutes after
otherwise it takes it down after your scheduled time. So from
scheduled at 9am, I need to start by 910 Otherwise, the post
automatically gets deleted. You can actually automate you can
manually take this live before your scheduled start time if you
want to do that. That's often what I do when we have any sort
of pre show kind of thing. So say we have like a five minute
pre show countdown timer. I will usually manually schedule it for
8am is that's the time we're supposed to go live and I'll
manually start it five minutes early with the countdown timer.
Plus that makes it helps make sure that everything's ready to
go and I'm not scrambling around five minutes before or anything
like that. So yeah, and Gee, these are just a few of the
other settings I just quickly run through that. And live video
of the stream stops, you can keep that on or off. Allow
embedding on post videos after it's live and go live for longer
than eight hours. The thing to realize this is that if you go
live longer than eight hours, it will be deleted once your stream
ends. And that's really it. That is the new brand new interface
and how you schedule a live post. Scheduled live post can be
very beneficial because it allows you to do a lot of
promotion around that live stream, which is going to help
you reach more people and get more people on. If you have more
people on your live video right away. Then Facebook is naturally
going to kind of send it out to more and more people as things
go. So hopefully this video was helpful. If you enjoyed it, be
sure to like the video. Leave a comment with any questions you
