[@harrietkubiczrealtor-homes6736]

Thank you for the step by step!

[@mrjerrypotter]

My pleasure Harriet - it was buggy at first, but they work well together now!

Missed the Paired encoder, the one i think we use in church.

[@abhieabellon8004]

Thank you for this.. Question..do you know how to add FAQs on Facebook events? Thank you..

[@sandrajenkins2591]

It would be helpful to see the steps on a business page.

[@theacts17accord]

Hi, some of the features you used are not in my create event page. for instance I do not have the ability to invite anyone to an event, can you tell me what is wrong

[@jellywelly2754]

Has the way that you create an event changed again recently? (as at Nov 2023)

[@restorationyoga5640]

Super helpful, thank you!!

Thank you Jerry. I did my first FB live recently and had problems with getting messages saying something about the bandwidth (can't remember the terminology but some technical glitches in the beginning. I broadcast from my laptop. Are there icons that people can click on during the broadcast (likes smiley faces etc?) . Is it better for me to do this from my phone. Woudl that cause less broadcast problems?

Looking for information on hosting FB Paid Online Events and if we can continue to charge a fee for the replays?

[@kaede_jing]

If it's a private event with invited guests attending, will the facebook live be public or private to those invited guest only?

[@mindyferguson4535]

Please help! When I try to set up the Facebook livestream on my event page it says “no permission to upload video” I can’t figure out how to get permission.

[@SashaSavinich]

HI! I can't figure out why my live event wasn't streaming on a main page of the group and how to set this up?

[@sandrajenkins2591]

Can you go live within the event from your phone vs. the computer?

[@natalie_rose_xo]

can you add a live done inside an event in your group, to a guide in your group?

[@chiroup]

So after you select the camera and microphone and press "Go Live"? is Your video going LIVE? What If my event is in 2 weeks?

[@mrjerrypotter]

Then you come back to the post a few minutes before your event (I like to do it 10-15 minutes before to make sure I'm ready). Then you can set all that up and go live when you're ready. This tutorial may be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHTWqGqfoNqfgMU

[@sharongerry6140]

Has Facebook changed as I see no settings for camera. Etc

[@k2OS]

Sometghing has changed.. when I go to setup live video for the event I create now for my Pages, I get asked to 'complete post details' as well, where I get to fill out a title and description for the live video that then becomes a post under the discusson tab for the event.. in fact, I don't think I've ever managed to create a proper Facebook Live Event.. they even tell me after the stream is over, that I should have created it as a Live Event WHICH I DID in the first place.. (or.. thought I did). With the New Facebook Pages Experience it's even harder to even find out where to create events too.. it's not llike they want to use the platform, but hey, it's free, right...

[@originallylinda]

Hi Jerry! If this event is created by a Business Page, is the live only streaming on the Facebook event page or is it streaming on BOTH the Facebook event page and Business Page’s homepage (timeline)? Thank you!

[@mrjerrypotter]

Great question! I haven't tested it outside of my Group with my personal profile

[@originallylinda]

@@mrjerrypotter No problem! Thanks for this insightful video :) I asked a Facebook support rep and they stated that if a Live Stream is conducted on a FB event page, it will only stream on the event page but can be shared to the Business Page’s homepage afterwards!

[@bIuejack]

Hey Jerry, do you need Zoom Pro to be able to use it for the FB Live stream?

[@mrjerrypotter]

You have to have a Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise account.

[@subhasisnag5004]

Nice video 👌, would you plz tell how to boost (ad) live video during broadcast at fb?

[@mrjerrypotter]

You can't boost a live video until after it ends.

[@TonyaBrewton]

Thank you!

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

[@susanarmstrong5561]

Thanks Jerry, that was great. As you say, and we have recently discovered too, Facebook doesn't seem to allow you to invite everyone to a live event in your Group if it has a lot of members. I would be really interested to hear from your experience how you have been dealing with this in your bigger Facebook Group that you mentioned, any general tips for inviting members or generally promoting live events in a large private Facebook Group would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Jerry!

[@mrjerrypotter]

Hi Susan! I don't host a lot of live events in my bigger free group. Most live events I hold are in the group for my membership which has a couple of hundred people in it, so I can still invite everyone. For bigger live events, I drive attendance through posting, emailing my list and anywhere else I can reach people. It's important to not just tell people about the event, but also why they will benefit by being there live. You could go as far as to offer something just for live attendees. If you want to take it one step further, you can create a Facebook Messenger Bot where people can subscribe and you can message them when you're going live.

[@susanarmstrong5561]

@@mrjerrypotter thank you very much for your reply and experience Jerry.

[@mrjerrypotter]

No problem!

[@stressescape4422]

Nice video 👌

[@mrjerrypotter]

Thanks!

[@my_it2020]

My online option does not come, I will benefit if you tell me the reason why it does not come

[@mrjerrypotter]

Not sure what you're asking? If you are saying you don't have the option to choose Online for your location, it may be because there are different options for different regions.
