Hi, I've been watching your fantastic videos for a couple of years now. Great work. I wanted to ask if you have ever made a video about making good quality live-stream videos of filming an iPad screen? I couldn't find any in the Primal Video Archive. I will be doing my first LIVE demo showing how I create digital art on the iPad from my low-light studio here in the UK. I bought a Sony ZV-1f especially for the job after seeing another video but at the moment the quality isn't even as good as my old iPhone XS which I usually use. Any tips on filming iPad screens particularly with Live-streaming are very welcome.

quick question. I love streamyard and been using it for a year or so. I'm simulcasting to youtube and FB. and monetized on both. Do you know if FB will still monetize the LIVES with a third party app like streamyard.

[@patsyraedawson]

Thank you for this. This is the clearest and most recent video I've found on doing Facebook Live. You showed how to screen share with StreamYard after the video has started, but not on Facebook. When you were setting up Facebook Live, you showed a screen share button. And when I select the button before starting the video, I can share. But if I want to make some introductory remarks before screen sharing, I can no longer find the button to share the screen. In other words, I can't find how to turn the screen share off and on so that I'm using it only part time during the video. Can you tell me how to solve the problem of the disappearing screen share button, please? Thank you!

Question...We have a few admins on our music festival page. We want to go live to announce our lineup but we all live in different areas of the state. One of us will be the main person in front of the camera but then I want to be there to answer questions and help on the back end but not be on camera. How do we do this?

[@user-ks2hc3dj7c]

Hi can you do a tutorial on how to boost your live video while streaming on facebook?

[@paulsteward4070]

Is there a way to Go live via Facebook Mobile using a streaming software as your source? This of course is straight forward on a desktop, but for example, if someone rented a Podcast Studio with the intentions of broadcasting live from that studio to their Facebook page, but all they had was a cell phone and access to FB Mobile, how could they access a stream key or be able to receive a live feed from the studio's equipment? (ie an ATEM Mini, etc...). I have surprisingly found zero forum posts about this, which makes me feel like I am missing something very obvious! --- Thanks in Advance!

[@247wellnessandrecovery6]

Do you know why the irig stream solo doesn't output to Facebook Live , I know the irig works because it does output on other platforms, but it will not output on a Facebook Live . I was considering a different streaming aide but not sure which one i can use to stream from a music mixer a dj mixer without the irig because the irig I have will not stream the music in on facebook live

[@kennethspeaks2408]

[@Cdharders]

Is there a tip on handle the warning that there's poor quality on FB Live? I was wired in, so I don't know why that warning came up.

[@BrightStar3862]

My problem is when I make a live fb video the width of the screen is exactly the same as my cell phone. However the size of the LIVE fb page is approximately 7inches wide. Thus, I have lare black bars on both sides of my video. The look is terrible, so I do increase the width of the LIVE so it fills out the full screen. The same holds true for Reels or sharts. Any suggestions, thanks, Ted. (P.S. landscape mode is not accepted.)

[@Chris7Lawrence]

Thanks for taking the time to update from older version. Much easier to follow with same screen on FB.

[@PrimalVideo]

No problem! Glad it was easier to follow with the same screen on Facebook. - Hazel, PV Team

I get a message saying fps is to low to bring it up to 60, I don't see in Facebook live where this setting would be. I have a fairly new comp. and newer logitech c920 1080 webcam. And in the stream metrics it shows 15 fps, how can i change that. Not using outside source just Facebook live.

[@talktodu]

My biggest thing I was looking for is how to bring a guest on when you are on your computer going live. I don't see a button or how to add a guest like you see at the bottom on a phone? Would you please share?

[@PrimalVideo]

I find the best way is to use tools like Streamyard or EVmux. Justin.

When you go live from the Facebook App, can you click on a comment to add it to the screen like you do in StreamYard?
