Taking selfie pictures is out. Live-streaming is the modern way to show the world what’s going on in your life and express yourself. Using a tablet or smartphone, you can broadcast to your family, friends, fans and business associates in real time over the Internet.
Facebook Live started last year with a myriad of public figures and paid publishers that parties, live-stream news, shows and more. Facebook opened Live in April to all of its billion users, but unfortunately only a quite number of them are using it. Maybe they don’t know well how, or maybe they don’t see a need for, but Facebook Live is a stunning way for us to get others in tune with our lives.
Live-stream portions of my own national radio show on Facebook. It’s been an amazing way to increase my show’s reach, and I regularly receive comments about a lot of things I could never imagine.
Think well about how you might make a use from this free Facebook feature. Show those who can’t attend a necessary meeting what they are missing. Show and say your opinion on anything.
How to start
If you haven’t already granted the Facebook app access to your microphone and, a camera prompt will request it. You have to do that once only.
A live broadcast preview of your video will appear, but till this moment you’re not broadcasting live all via Facebook yet!
Choose either your rear-facing or front camera by selecting the switch in the above-right corner. You can shoot in landscape or portrait mode, but the video will always be in a square shape. Take a moment to enter a description and title for your video.
On the preview page, you can also choose your live video’s privacy settings. How much time do you need to share this video? You can share it to Public, or Only Me, Friends, Friends except.... Tap “Only Me” till you get a handle on how it can work.
Now you are ready to broadcast live. Set the camera in the direction you want it and select the 'Go Live' tap in the lower-right corner. A countdown timer will be appeared.
Congratulations! Now you are live-streaming on Facebook. Your video will appear in your News Feed, just like other posts.
The screen is opening. One-half of your phone’s screens appear your video feed and count the number of viewers. The other half show likes comments, and friends who are watching your video. When your live-stream begins, Facebook will try to build an audience for you by sending some notifications to your Facebook friends. It takes some time to build an audience, so don’t get despair if only a handful of people view your first stream.
When you select live-streaming, button Finish to end up the broadcast, your video is posted to your Profile Page or Timeline, where others can see your video as it happened in real-time, complete with chronological comments and likes.
If you don’t want to post or save a replay of your live video, select “Delete” instead.
Happy
