Facebook Live Workaround with RTMPS

  1. As a workaround, please create a custom RTMPS stream target and use the Facebook Live Producer to gather the required credentials. Please see the steps below:
  • Create a custom stream target (See step 2 on how to get the RTMPS credentials from Facebook Live Producer). See the screenshot below:

c) -Select where you want to stream (Timeline, Page, etc.)
