There are many ways to go live on the social network, but there are several things you can do to make your first live video a success. Whether you&#8217;re just starting out or have experience hosting live events, you should be prepared for a few common mistakes. You should also prepare a compelling description and post your video in advance. You should also know how to share your live video on Facebook to increase viewer engagement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Embrace_your_mishaps_with_live_video\"><\/span>Embrace your mishaps with live video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be too precious about perfectionism on Facebook Live. Mistakes happen, but don&#8217;t let them keep you from creating memorable content. These moments can spark a conversation, so embrace them! Don&#8217;t worry if your live video doesn&#8217;t look polished; mistakes are normal and will be forgotten later on. Instead, use them as conversation starters and let your audience see how imperfect you are.<\/p>\n<p>To get the best possible results with live videos, you need to prepare yourself thoroughly and practice until you become a professional. Avoid reading from a script and keep on message. Always remember to add a call-to-action in your live video! You don&#8217;t need a professional camera or a film crew to capture your own live video, but a poor-quality video will likely damage your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Write_a_compelling_description\"><\/span>Write a compelling description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While your video is likely the most important element of your Facebook Live video, a compelling description will also entice viewers to watch. The description will appear above the video, so it&#8217;s important to make it as engaging as possible. Try to provide enough information to pique your audience&#8217;s curiosity, while leaving out just enough to get the point across. Use emoticons and tagging people to draw attention and draw viewers to your video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_your_FB_Live_in_advance\"><\/span>Promote your FB Live in advance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to increase Facebook Live audience attendance is to promote the broadcast in advance. You can create an event on Facebook, target a specific audience, and use teasers to build anticipation. By creating an event, you can let followers know when your broadcast will go live and allow them to join in on the fun. Once you have your event scheduled, you should use the social networking platform&#8217;s built-in reminders to encourage attendees to tune in.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you acknowledge your audience. To engage your audience, you can create a poll or ask questions. Remember to have a team member on hand to note down any relevant questions or comments. This way, you can ensure that your broadcast is a success. If you are a regular guest, introduce them first. It&#8217;s also helpful to provide an outline of the broadcast, as this will help people catch up if they missed something. Encourage viewers to ask questions, and make the live broadcast as interactive as possible. If possible, consider a contest or poll to encourage participation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stream_to_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Stream to a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to stream your videos on Facebook, there are a few things you need to know before you begin. First, you must be an admin or moderator of a Facebook page. While you can stream to any group, you cannot live stream to a page that doesn&#8217;t allow you to do so. To access the Facebook page you need to login to your Facebook account. You&#8217;ll then need to switch from your business page to your personal page.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have added your stream to Facebook, you&#8217;ll need to give permission for StreamYard to access your page or group. This is a great feature, but it will prevent others from viewing it. Facebook recently changed their privacy settings, and you can&#8217;t view comments or user reviews. If you&#8217;d like to view comments on a Facebook page, you&#8217;ll need to reauthorize your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fUUIzNJ2BA8\" width=\"472\" height=\"264\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Go Live on Facebook?
