Hello thanks 🙏. I am glad the Videos are helpful. What cannon camera model you have ? Also any particular reason you need it to be Wireless? One way of doing it is to use an HDMI transmitter assuming your camera has a clean HDMI out.

[@LiveProductionTips]

For mobile streaming you probably need to try a different App. You can either use your phone as a webcam and connect to OBS or simply get App on your phone and run the stream on it. Prism mobile is one app to try

[@inge1903]

Hi, thank you for this! on the video capture device - do I select Elgato Virtual Camera, Cam Link 4K or OBS Virtual Camera when live streaming to Facebook. I can not make out which of this the mina device. The main camera is EOS M50 and calming 4k USB connected to laptop and camera. So which is the capture device.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Hello so if you have the cam link 4K connected that should be the video capture device you will choose. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@dessiplaer]

Our church streams live on Facebook every Sunday via a phone Is it possible to get everything set up in OBS and then saved as a preset so you can just go live without having to setup everything all over again every week. Also, do you have to go live from Facebook every time you want to stream? I'm trying to make out setup as easy as possible. Thanks for the video and the info.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes you can set everything up in OBS and OBS will auto save your settings. In Facebook back end make sure you use a persistent Key in that case it stays the same, and if you want to go live without having to go back to Facebook you can try to preschedule your Lives as Events and set to Auto Start, make sure you do some testing to make sure you don’t have any issues. Let me know how it goes.

[@SnowSugarVideo]

Do you know how to Facebook live via OBS with only me (in private) for testing purposes?

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes back in Facebook where you add tittle and description you will see a place to make the Stream Unlisted or Private. By default is on Public

[@SnowSugarVideo]

@@LiveProductionTips That's great! Thanks 🙏

[@SnowSugarVideo]

I was not able to change from public to anything. There is a test mode. But I have not tried it yet.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@SnowSugarVideo you need to join my Facebook group so I can share a screen shot with you

[@babywooseok]

will this work the same way if i want to stream only in a certain group? im scared to press the wrong button and making it public to all my friends 😅

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yes its possible, you can also stream from a page to a group not from your personal account , you will need to have access though

[@babywooseok]

@@LiveProductionTips alright, thank you!

Hi Sam, Just to be clear, I have to be on the fb page to go live? Can I use the “start streaming “ key on obs once everything is in place on fb?

[@LiveProductionTips]

There is no direct integration with FB to go live directly from OBS although you can do it with KZbin

[@porshsmith14]

@@LiveProductionTips Just rewatched the ending ... 1) Can I reuse the same key or do I have to reset, copy & paste everytime 2) my fb page doesn't show a "public" option, is it safe to say it will just go public

@@porshsmith14 you have an option to create a reusable key, also facebook interface can be sometimes overwhelming but Public is there somewhere, however by default it is usually on Public

Obs is working perfectly, is facebook that is not working, I can tell when I'm streaming ,obs live is completely fine but facebook is frozen, it takes so long to move, but you can hear everything

I've check the stats on obs and it says skipped frames due to encoding lag and the numbers are yellow,I don't know if it has something to do with it

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@matyguillen9 ya that’s definitely one of the issues. If OBS is skipping frames your live stream is likely to lag or even freeze. Could be your computer that’s not powerful enough

When I click go live Facebook tells me "you cannot go live. Your account needs to have an established presence before you can go live on Facebook." I have had a Facebook account for several years now so Idk why I am getting this message, is it because I just made a "new" page within my Facebook account for streaming?
