About Facebook Live

Use Facebook to live stream a chat, show, Q&A, or virtual event, or sell products through a live video. Learn how to make personal connections and create shared experiences with Facebook Live. You can go live on your Page, group, profile, or event using the Facebook app on your mobile device or by using a camera and streaming software (also known as an "encoder"). If you want to broadcast live with a camera and encoder, you should use Live Producer. If you go live from a desktop or laptop, you'll automatically be directed to Live Producer, which is also the way to go live on Facebook with higher-end production equipment and streaming software. With live polls, easily create polls before a broadcast starts and share them with fans during the broadcast.

    "Horrible for Small businesses "

    Posted 2023-07-24

    Pros: Easy to use when it actually works. Other than that not much is really good about it. It rarely does.

    Cons: No reach, viewers, visibility, hides comments, cuts out, kicks off viewers, cuts out sound.

    Overall: Terrible, it hides small businesses from their regular customers that WANT to see them. Myself and at least 15 other small business owners I know are being drowned because Facebook basically sabotages our accounts, even if we're paying an outrageous amount for their ads that don't work. Don't waste your time

    Pros: Very easy to broadcast to a live audience on the largest scale possible. Have a great audience reach.

    Cons: The support feature provided by Facebook can be improved.

    Overall: No other platform is as big as Facebook provides for broadcasting. Live streaming medium for international broadcasting.

    "A good one available to keep business activities functional"

    Posted 2020-12-07

    Pros: It is easy to use in the application or with a computer system internet browser, and also quite reliable. Furthermore, the analysis and metrics offered are extremely valuable, as well as allowing you to customize your discussion to better reach your target market. In addition, I particularly valued the choice of using a wireless microphone connected to a laptop for the programs; this has ensured that our visitors hear with exceptional quality.

    Cons: Sometimes it will certainly remove a longer webcast, however, there are ways to resolve this hassle. Analyzes are also not readily available on the mobile app, you can only access them on a computer system. Not a big problem, but it would certainly be appropriate to be able to consult them on the go, rather than having to wait until you are back at work.

    Overall: Facebook Live was really crucial. Being able to relay activity solutions from anywhere during quarantine, as well as continuing to do so after the quarantine has increased, has in fact been a substantial property for our company. In addition, it offers us an easy-to-use mentoring approach, so site visitors can inspect us before speaking in person.

    "Go Live on Facebook"

    Posted 2020-07-15

    Pros: Easy to use.
    Works right from Facebook website or app itself.
    Decent video quality & low bandwidth usage.
    Watch party feature.

    Cons: Needs moderation on content .
    No innovative features.
    Doesn't not allow collaborative streaming - like Squad streaming feature of twitch.

    Overall: Facebook Live is a live streaming feature built in Facebook itself. It is really simple to use and fulfills basic needs but lacks a host of features provided by other similar apps. The major plus point is that it is accessible from Facebook homepage but It needs a lot of work to challenge the likes of Instagram or YouTube Live.

    "Facebook Live - Review"

    Posted 2020-06-13

    Pros: (+) Super easy platform, very good interface.
    (+) Has a lot of features like hashtags, filters for streaming video.
    (+) You can stream on both computers and laptops.
    (+) Better engagement with your followers, feedback, and many other advantages.

    Cons: (-) There is no way to stop malicious content being posted in live stream.
    (-) It becomes difficult to analyze all of the content flowing through your feed in live, you will have to go through comments manually.

    Overall: Facebook Live is one of the first live streaming applications around the world. Facebook live is pretty good and you have many features to put filters in videos, hashtagging and live commenting, and many others. On the negative side, there is no way to stop malicious content being posted on Facebook live which is not a good sign. On an overall level, it is a very good way to interact with people.
