Motivatedto find a better solution, I did a lot of research and came up with a way to live stream using my DSLR. The DSLR had the necessary white balance controls and it also gave me the option to capture other perspectives using different lenses. For instance, I love the up-close detail you get with a macro lens and to be able to stream this live is just cool!
My DSLR, a Sony a7 III Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera. Why did I do this? Generally, mirrorless cameras are better for video versus DSLRs so I performed some due diligence and settled on the Sony since it had a reputation for producing stunning 4K video! Of course it would be nearly impossible to stream in 4K but I wanted to step things up for the videos I edit and produce for my YouTube channel.
If WiFi is your only option, do it on a password protected network, especially in a public place. Bandwidth can be consumed quickly on a non-password protected network by others browsing the internet on their phones.
A lower video resolution will also provide more cushion in terms of bandwidth and my preference is to always stream at 720p vs. 1080p. I usually set my stream settings to 720p at 30 fps for YouTube and Facebook but sometimes I do go with 720p at 60 fps. 720p is still High Definition (HD) and I have found the quality to be pretty darn good.

I have both a Quest 2 and Quest 3. Both have the latest OS/Firmware version available installed (says there is no updates when I check in settings). My Question is: How do I go live on Facebook? When I go in to the Camera App there is no go live showing up only the normal take picture, video or cast. I have read online that you need to have your Facebook account linked to your headset. On both headsets when I go in to accounts both my Meta and Facebook accounts show up. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Many thanks in advance for any help given.
If you're still having some troubles streaming, double check to make sure your headset is up to date and then I recommend Reporting a problem on Meta Quest that'll go straight to the engineers for them to review.
Hey! I just fixed it, the v59 update just rolled out to me and isn't an update that just rolls in. You must update to v59, have the Facebook apps installed, then restart your headset and it should work
Yeah it appears to be a total crap shoot it. I've got 59, I've got the FB app installed. I've restarted many times. No way to livestream to FB. It's kinda infuriating cause there's no way to tell if it's bug, or just a rollout thing but it's been "rolling out" for like 4+ months so that seems like it's not it. Honestly totally unprofessional deployment of a feature.

Facebook is one of the largest websites in the world and one of the most popular live video platforms. When you broadcast live videos on Facebook, you have the potential to reach thousands of people. To get that many eyeballs on your Facebook Live stream, however, you need to produce exceptional content.
Facebook Live videos have several features you can use to engage with your audience. You can run a poll, give top fans a shoutout with the front row feature, pin comments to the top of the live chat, and invite guests to go live with you.
A good webcam is important too, but lighting is what really makes a difference. Positioning a few cheap lights at the right angles can drastically improve the image quality of your stream, even if you have a lower-quality webcam. You can check out our guide to video lighting for more tips and tricks. We also have a full guide to live streaming equipment, including what you need for a basic setup.
If you have a lot of people tuning in, trying to do the stream while also moderating the chat can be tough. You want to be sure nobody in the chat says anything obscene or trolls any of the other viewers.
Download the recording of your stream and edit it so you can post it as a video-on-demand (VOD) on another platform, like YouTube. You can also make a highlight reel or short clips to post on social media and YouTube.
While you can go live on personal profiles and in groups, Facebook limits the features you can use. If you go live on a page, you can crosspost on other pages, restrict your stream to a certain age group or geographic area and access more detailed insights on your audience.
Make sure you have the rights to broadcast all the content that appears in your stream. One issue a lot of broadcasters have trouble with is music. They want to play popular songs as background or transition music, but then get flagged by Facebook because the songs are copyrighted material.
Facebook has a sound collection that lets you add free music to your stream. You can also use royalty-free music libraries. Read our guide to live streaming with royalty-free music to learn how to add music to your stream without getting in trouble.
If you want more people to tune into your Facebook Live stream, you should promote it ahead of time. Create an event for your stream so people can RSVP and get notifications about it. If you have a Meta Business account, you can also notify your subscribers on Facebook Messenger when you go live.
You can go live on Facebook using either a mobile device or computer. With a mobile device, you need the Facebook app to go live. With a computer, you can either live stream using Facebook Live Producer or with a third-party broadcasting software such as Restream Studio.
Yes, you can choose your audience type when you start a new broadcast on Facebook. You can make the audience public, private or for just you. You can also add age and location restrictions to your live broadcast settings. You can also set up a private group with only certain members and stream to that group.
If you stick to the tips in this guide, you can take your Facebook Live streams to the next level. Live streaming to Facebook and other social media platforms is easier with Restream. You can multistream, go live straight from your browser, easily add guests and much more.
You can stream a Zoom meeting or webinar live on Facebook to your Facebook timeline, group page, or page that you are an admin for. This allows your participants to join via Zoom or viewers to watch and comment on Facebook Live.
You can quickly stream a Zoom meeting or webinar directly to your Facebook timeline or page, or schedule and configure a custom live stream to live stream your Zoom meeting or webinar to a Facebook group that you're an admin of.
If you have the Facebook window open on your computer, you will hear your audio play back to you approximately 20 seconds delayed. If you need to keep the Facebook window open to view and reply to comments, click the speaker icon at the bottom right of the live stream on the Facebook page to mute the video.
When screen sharing, the shared content appears in the large video window, and the speaker's video appears as a thumbnail if their video is on. If the speaker's video is off, only the shared content can be viewed by participants on Facebook.
You can stream to your Facebook timeline or to a Facebook group or page, if you have appropriate permissions. Additionally, if you're a business page, ensure that your Facebook account meets the requirements for live streaming.
Verify that you're the admin of the Facebook group, and make sure the group you want to live stream to allows the live video feature. Learn more about Facebook groups and live streaming to Facebook groups.
Hey, I am having the same issues. @jithinjoyson1997 can you please elaborate on what you mean by " The account used to stream needs to be added as a member of the main zoom account (Under User Settings)"
Facebook made changes to their streaming service in early 2018 and now prevents some users from live streaming to groups. If you are unable to live stream your webinar to Facebook, you can configure the Facebook Live stream as a custom service as a workaround.
You can also try using a different browser to live stream. Open a separate browser, log in to Facebook, then copy and paste the link Zoom is currently trying to open in the browser. This should work very similar to clearing the browser cache, if that option is not possible for you.
Setting up the live stream as a custom service may work better than an instant live stream. It takes a bit more time to configure, but can avoid issues, as Facebook is already expecting a live stream.
We are having the same problem - and this prior to a board meeting - This is the second time this year where the Zoom/Facebook integration is not working together
Any resolution?
Cleared cache
