Hello everyone,

Facebook frequently adjusts its policies for pages, and currently access to groups and sometimes pages can be restricted. To get around these broadcasting problems, there are 2 solutions:

-Schedule the live stream on the group and broadcast via RTMP
-Broadcast on YouTube or Twitch and share the live link on your Facebook page (my preferred solution).

(We're sorry, but we're doing our best to adapt to Facebook's changes )

Thanks to this video, you can now get around the problem and resume broadcasting your matches via RTMP :

Section 1: Prerequisites and configuration
Before you start, make sure you have an active Swish Live account and the equipment you need for a quality broadcast. This includes a compatible camera and a stable internet connection.

Facebook setup: Prepare your Facebook page or group:

Go to your page/group management settings.
Select “Publishing settings” and enable the live streaming options.

Section 2: RTMP configuration on Swish Live
Swish Live supports RTMP broadcasting, making the process smooth and flexible.

Find RTMP settings :

Open the Swish Live application.
Go to “Settings” then “Live broadcasting” and select “Custom RTMP”.

Broadcast key:
Go to your Facebook page, in the “Create” section then “Live”. Here, Facebook will generate an RTMP URL in the settings and a broadcast key.

Copy the broadcast key and RTMP URL into the Swish Live settings.

Section 3: Start Broadcasting
With the parameters configured, you're ready to launch your broadcast.

Start Live :

In Swish Live, select the “Broadcast” button.

Make sure the output is set to your Facebook page or group via RTMP.
Click on “Start broadcast” to go live.
Monitoring the broadcast:

Keep an eye on connectivity and adjust quality settings if necessary to ensure a smooth experience for viewers.

Section 4: Best practices

Audience engagement :

Interact with viewers via comments.
Encourage viewers to react and share the live stream to increase visibility.
Solving common problems :

If the broadcast is interrupted, check your internet connection and RTMP settings.
Make sure that live streaming permissions are correctly configured on Facebook.
