Thank you for the details. I was just trying to find a basic live video set on a schedule and send the link to the friends. Is there a simpler setup for a mobile camera view share? Thanks a lot.

Great video thanks! Can you explain why I can't get by the first stage.. ie I input the information but the 'next' button stays greyed out with the error text 'You can't post in this group. Try switching to your profile'. This is clearly wrong as I'm the group founder and primary admin, posting all the time! Any clues would be much appreciated.

Is it better to do the live event on a laptop or is a cell phone just as effective?

Great tutorial! Can I broadcast from zoom?

With Facebook Live Event - Is it possible to show both your camera and screen at the same time? Theres an option to choose one or another, but I cant figure out how to toggle views or use camera & screen at the same time. Third party Streaming software only option?

This is a great video! I am using Wirecast Software. I assume that I just chose the RTMP option and paste the Facebook Live code into Wirecast then I would have to Click "Go Live Now" on the Facebook controls to receive My stream?? I believe a tutorial on setting up an event with software like OBS or Wirecast would be a great one to show.

Dumb question but is it possible to set up a "live" event but to stream a not live streamed video? Like a video we previously shot?

Is there currently any way to go live from a scheduled event from an iphone? If I set up an event on the computer, when I select video source, I can select webcam or streaming source, but there is no option to select a phone of any type. If I select Webcam, for example, If I try to then open up the scheduled event from my phone and go live, I get an error message saying "I don't have permission to upload video." I could select the streaming software option, but then when using my phone, I would have to have facebook open on another computer to the event before the streaming software would connect and go live. It seems my only option is that, without scheduling an event, I could simply "go live" immediately, without scheduling an event. Am I missing something? Are there any options currently to go live on a scheduled event simply using the facebook app on the phone?
