You can use stock image libraries, pngtree, and ManyCam, or create one yourself with manyCam or Restream Studio. In this article, we&#8217;ll talk about the best practices for creating custom backgrounds. We&#8217;ll also cover the best techniques for using manyCam and Restream Studio to create an eye-catching background for your Facebook Live videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ManyCam\"><\/span>ManyCam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ManyCam&#8217;s Chroma key feature allows you to replace the background of your video stream without using a green screen. In this option, you can choose a default ManyCam background or upload your own image. Once you&#8217;ve selected the background you want, you can enable the Chroma key feature in the application. Chroma key compositing is a special effects technique that layers two images. It is a common technique in motion pictures and newscasting. It helps to remove the real background of your video stream and replace it with a custom image.<\/p>\n<p>After downloading and installing ManyCam, you&#8217;ll need to authorize the application to post to Facebook. The ManyCam app will then send the live stream feed to Facebook. Once it&#8217;s approved, log into your Facebook account to see your new stream. Once you&#8217;ve done this, click the &#8216;Share&#8217; button to post your live stream on Facebook. ManyCam allows you to switch between 12 different sources smoothly. Make sure you test all the sources before starting your live broadcast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stock_image_libraries\"><\/span>Stock image libraries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re looking for a background for your Facebook Live video, there are several good stock image libraries to choose from. The first one, Pixabay, is a free image library that features more than 2.5 million images, including photos, videos, vector images, illustrations, sound effects, and more. There&#8217;s also an advanced filter function and a custom API to search the library. If you&#8217;re looking for a unique background, you can look to sites like Dreamstime and Shutterstock, which offer a large selection of exclusive photos.<\/p>\n<p>A number of stock image libraries offer thousands of photos, so choosing just one might be a challenge. One popular library, Shutterstock, offers a free trial with 10 images, but you&#8217;ll need to pay for more in order to use all of its amazing features. Aside from the free trial, Shutterstock has an extensive gallery and editing tools, as well as filters to help you customize your image. Other popular stock photo libraries include iStockPhoto, Adobe Stock, DepositPhotos, and others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restream_Studio\"><\/span>Restream Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add an animated background to your Facebook Live video using Restream Studio. To add one, you need to upload an MP4 file of at least 150 MB. Then, you can choose from the available options. To add a background video, choose a size that fits into the Studio layout and enables it to be at least 150 MB. The selected video will fill the entire layout, muting all other participants.<\/p>\n<p>To use Restream Studio, you need to set the background screen to 1920&#215;1080 pixels. You can also add custom graphics, logos, and backgrounds. Besides that, you can also upload video pre-rolls and overlays. There are even options to upload up to 50 logotypes. For the logo, make sure to select a size of at least 25 MB. You can also add a logo for your business or a brand logo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pngtree\"><\/span>Pngtree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever thought of using Pngtree as a background for your Facebook Live videos? It&#8217;s a site that offers free transparent background images for Facebook streams. They have PNG, EPS, AI, and PSD formats, and offer download buttons. And, because they&#8217;re royalty-free, these images are guaranteed to be legal. What&#8217;s more, they&#8217;re available for commercial use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animated_backgrounds\"><\/span>Animated backgrounds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding Animated backgrounds to Facebook Live videos can be quite useful, especially if you have a very dynamic content. If you can&#8217;t decide on a background, you can also upload your own. Facebook is testing the option, and it looks to be limited to test users. In addition to backgrounds, you can also add more than one, such as custom ones. Animated backgrounds on Facebook Live videos are very attractive and can be used as a great way to promote a website, social media account, or contact information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_layers\"><\/span>Adding layers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding layers to a background on Facebook live gives you the ability to customize your video. You can add layers that show your logo, information about your show, or desktop. Facebook also allows multiple broadcasters. To make it work, you need to have a certain type of video software installed on your computer. To learn more about how to use it, follow these instructions. Once you have the required software installed on your computer, follow the instructions on how to add layers to a background on Facebook Live.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"280\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HSQ0cKiZwWc\" width=\"501\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can You Put a Background on Facebook Live?
