To live stream, you need to have the Veo Live add-on subscription.

 

In this article, you will find information about how to livestream to Facebook using a Veo Cam.

 

Step 1: Setup Facebook as a Streaming Destination.

  1. First, you need to configure which Facebook Profile or Facebook Page you want to stream to.

    To do this, go to your Veo account at app.veo.co and select Veo Live in the left-sided menu. This will bring you to the Streaming Destinations page.

  2. Then click Setup next to the Facebook icon.

    Here you need to add a stream key. A stream key is a small piece of code that allows the Veo Cam to connect to Facebook and send the stream to the correct Facebook Profile or Page.

    Note

    There is a toggle that allows you to request the stream key when starting the live stream via the Veo Camera App. If turned on, this will allow you to paste in different stream keys for different streams, which effectively allows you to stream individual games to different YouTube channels.

 

Step 2: Start the livestream.

With the setup done, you are now able to start a livestream.

  1. Connect to the camera via Veo Camera App, make sure the camera is connected to an internet source and click on Go Live.

    NOTE: If during the setup you selected “Request stream key when starting live stream”, the Veo Camera App will ask you to add that Stream Key in this step.

  4. Finally, Swipe to go Live to start the live stream.

     

 

The camera is now live streaming to Facebook! Note that there is a delay of around 60 seconds until the stream is viewable on Facebook.

 

Next you need to publish the stream to your Facebook Profile or Facebook Page. To do this go back to Facebook Live Producer.

First, make sure you give the live stream a title and a description so that it will be easy to find for your viewers.
