Are you doing live broadcasts on Facebook, but would also love to embed a video on your website to attract more viewers and create engagement? Then you’re in the right place! Here is an article on how to do that.
To be embedded, your broadcast has to meet the following requirements:
-
The broadcast should be live on your timeline or page OR scheduled on the page
-
The broadcast should be public (If you embed a video and the audience of the video changes from Public, a message saying the embedded video is no longer available will appear on the website.)
