So if you own a  page you can from now on start streaming on Facebook. (It might not be  unlocked for everyone right away. And you might need to have a certain  number of likes. I could not find exact info about this.) There are a few limitations though (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/facebookmedia/get-started/live" target="_blank">see here</a> or read on) and as mentioned, you need a Facebook PAGE: <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Video Resolution: max 720p (1280 x 720 or 720 x 1280), 30 frames per second</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Key-Frame Interval of 1 every 2 seconds</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Max bit rate 4000Kbps</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rate control: CBR</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">240 minute (4 hour) maximum length</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Audio Sample Rate: 44.1 KHz</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Audio Bitrate: 128 Kbps mono or stereo</li> </ul> To start a stream you have to first visit your Facebook Page, then  at the top click on "Publishing Tools" (if you do not see the Publishing  Tools your page is probably not unlocked for Live Streaming yet,  contact Facebook to find out whats needed), on the left click on  "Videos" and then on the top right click on "Live":<a href="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Publishing_Tools.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Publishing_Tools-300x152.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> A popup will appear with the necessary information for OBS. In my example screenshot OBS-Studio lets you select Facebook Live as a  Streaming Service, so you only need to copy over the Stream Key and OBS  will make sure you do not exceed the max bitrate or key-frame interval  limit of Facebook:<a href="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Create.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Create-300x119.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Important:  The Server URL and Stream Key can only be used for a single Live  preview/post connection. You must use the same URL and key to preview  and post. That is, you cannot preview, stop the stream, and then resume  at a later time. The URL and Key are valid for 7 days. Once you preview  the video, you have up to 5 hours to go live. If you need more time,  create a new stream key closer to the event time. Now we can set OBS to meet Facebook's maximum Video Resolution and  maximum FPS in the Video settings (1280x720 and 30FPS) You can of course  stream at a lower resolution and FPS interval but not higher. And  Facebook recommends you to stream at an aspect ratio of 16:9:<a href="http://www.helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_OBS-Video.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_OBS-Video-300x234.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Depending on your Output Resolution and FPS you can set your desired bitrate, remember the maximum is 4000kbps:<a href="http://www.helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_OBS-Output.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_OBS-Output-300x234.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Check out some guides on how to find the best bitrate if you are not sure what to choose. Make sure all your other settings (Audio especially), scene and source  configuration are done before you start going live. If you accidentally  start and stop your stream you will need to create a new live video and  copy over the new stream key. As soon as you are ready to start click on the Preview Button in the  bottom right of the Facebook "Create live video" popup. The next popup  will allow you to preview your stream. At this point you are not live on  Facebook yet but I got a terrible echo from the preview and had to mute  my Tab on Chrome to get rid of it. I hope Facebook will soon show you  some controls to mute the preview. In the meantime just mute your Tab  until that is the case. Firefox and Chrome both should have this option,  not sure about Opera or IE. You can now enter a Post message, give the Video a title, add tags and  even tag people before going live. And you can also start the Stream in  your Software and it should appear in the Popup Window:<a href="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Preview.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Preview-300x218.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> After  you entered everything and if your stream is online, the "Go Live"  button will be blue as you can see in this example, which means you are  now ready to go live. Click on "Go Live" to do so.<a href="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video-300x218.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> After  you are done with your Stream you can click on "End Live Video" to stop  being Live on Facebook. The video will be saved and should soon appear  in your Video Library of your Facebook Page:<a href="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Library.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://helping-squad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Facebook_Live_Video_Library-300x77.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> That's  about it. You can now stream your content to Facebook and publish it on  your Facebook Page. Remember, the next time you start a Facebook stream  you have to update your Stream Key.                                            මෙන්න වීඩියෝ එක <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rapsYGqHsUA" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rapsYGqHsUA</a></blockquote>
