Live Stream to a Facebook Live Video Event

In addition to live streaming on your personal Facebook account or to a post on a Facebook Page or Group, you can also share to a Live Video Event on Facebook and invite viewers ahead of time. Follow the steps below to schedule and test a Live Event stream.

Step by step:
