Livestream Games with Facebook
Facebook allows for livestreaming via a camera or a mobile device. Be sure to choose the best option for your organization.
For any Facebook account related issues please contact Facebook support.
We recommend recording the game with your usual recording workflow in addition to any livestreaming service you might use.
