This article shows how to locate your Stream URL and Stream Key in Facebook. For more help live streaming with Proclaim, view our full support article.
Go to facebook.com/live/create and login or create an account with Facebook.
-
Open the dropdown menu where you choose where to post the video feed
-
Select the option to Post to a Page that you manage.
Select the page you want to use.
You will probably see a popup prompt asking if you want to switch to interacting as that page. Click Ok to continue.
Click Set up live video in the Go live box to start configuring livestream details.
Select Streaming Software to get a url and key for OBS (or whatever encoder you’re using).
Note: Optionally, customize your experience, from adjusting the stream timing, to adding a title and description for your stream and more.
Expand the Advanced Settings menu to see all of the available options.
Facebook generates both a Server URL (1) and a Stream Key (2) which you will need in your live stream settings panel.
Check Persistent Stream Key (3) if you want your stream key to be permanent (i.e., if you don’t want to have to configure OBS with every new stream.)
Important! Your stream key is like a password. Keep it save and never share it publicly or make it visible.
Keep this page open as this is where you will start your stream later.
Note: Get help setting up your livestream with Proclaim.
