I hope it will solved in few days.

Anyway if you need streaming to Timeline exists two ways:

1. streaming to your page  and share in timeline (for public stream)
2. or use RTMP-Mode. Below I show how to.

How to use RTMP-Mode for streaming to Facebook

Step 1: click Live and select RTMP-Mode

it opens this form and you need fill out fields marked A and B. see next step.

Step 2: in other browser tab open Facebook.com, select your profile (or group) and press “Live Video”

Step 3:  Facebook shows special dialog. Please select Connect and copy/paste strings to field A and B  as shows on this picture

so you got something this:

NOTES: you can press “save” for use this params in next time. For example you can save params for Timeline and for Groups

Step 4: press Start and switch to Facebook tab again.  Wait few seconds. When you will see your stream press “Go Live” button.

Summary

You can save RTMP-params (see notes for Step 3) and use this in next time.  Be aware: in RTMP-Mode  WinBroadcaster can’t read and shows comments and reactions.

Anyway I hope Facebook returns access in few days and we be happy again.

Improved User Interface

Capture and Draw border

We add new feature for screencapture: capture area selector. You can easy select area. Also it allows draw over area.

I started stream, select “Stream on your Timeline” and  “Privacy: Public”.  But my  stream got privacy “Friends” (or “Only me”).

Why and how I can fix this?

Answer

Facebook asked you about privacy  at first start and suggested “Friends” or “Only me” by default.     It seems you just pressed “OK”.

Facebook asked about privacy restriction at first start.

How to fix it

Don’t worry, you can change this easy:  go to Facebook –> Settings and select “Business Integrations”  (or click this link  )  and do this:

Main updates:

• “Media Overlays” – power tool for add additional content to your stream (Intros, Countdowns etc)
  More detailed see here: Media Overlays

• Refactored Direct Streaming mode. So it’s more easy. BTW: you can stream to other services like Twitch or Periscope.
