2. In the Status Update box, click on Live Video
3. Click on Go Live or Create Live Video Event
4. Select Streaming Software

The Go Live button will remain faded until Facebook detects a stream from the Cloud Server. This can be the slate (background) file.

*Using Schedule Live*

1. Select a date and time when you want to go live.
2. When you schedule your live video, an announcement will be published immediately.
3. Verify your live video feed at least 20 minutes before the scheduled start time. To verify it, preview the feed by opening the scheduled video from your Timeline using the Edit Post button.
4. People following your event will be notified about your scheduled broadcast, and some may be waiting for you at the scheduled start time. The live video will begin automatically at the scheduled start time. You must go live within 10 minutes of the scheduled time or your video will be canceled.
