As part of the RTMP output configuration process, you can configure Facebook Live targets for your Zixi Broadcaster. This enables you to send an RTMP RTMPS stream into Facebook Live using your Facebook authorization/login and settings. You can set the privacy authorization to determine who can access the stream. You can also configure how it will be posted to Facebook (e.g. User feed, Page, Event or Group). For Regular Streams, with a limited duration, you have the option of saving the stream as VOD to enable subsequent viewing.
