Here's a description of each item you see on your stream's dashboard.
| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Video Title | Video title - this only shows when a viewer clicks the video |
| Description | The description shows up in the video's post, viewer's feed, etc |
| Profile/Page | What profile/page/group/event to send video to |
| Privacy | The video privacy setting |
| Continuous | Whether the video is a "continuous" video (see below for details |
| Use Existing Event | Instead of having Multistreamer create a live video, you can use an existing live video |
| End live video when stream ends | By default, when a video ends Multistreamer signals facebook. Uncheck this to keep the video "live" |
Facebook has two kinds of live videos:
-
Regular
- Notifies friends/followers that you're live
- Saves video to Facebook for playback later
- Maximum time of 4 hours
-
Continuous
- Does not notify friends/followers that you're live
- Does not save video to Facebook for playback later
- No maximum time
Facebook Pages can create a live video and schedule it for a specific date/time, if you would rather do that you can. Change the profile/page to a page with a scheduled video and save your stream settings. When it refreshes, you'll have a list of existing events you can stream to.
When you use this mode, Multistreamer will not change any of the event settings, you'll need to manage all video settings manually with Facebook.
