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.
In order 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.) You can check out this article on how to check and change your privacy settings.
How to embed a broadcast on any website
The easiest way to embed a live video on any website is to copy and paste the embed code available for the post with the broadcast. You just need to have access to HTML editing of the block or page - no coding required!
Here's how:
Create or schedule a broadcast using Be.Live. Note, your broadcast needs to be live on timeline, or live/scheduled on a page for it to be embedded on the website.
If your broadcast is already live on timeline or page
1. Go to Facebook and locate the post with the broadcast. Click Share > Embed
2. Copy and paste the code to your website. You can include the full post (with description and reactions) or only the video. You can also go to Advanced Settings to set up the size of the embedded video and other features.
If your broadcast is scheduled on a business page
1. Click Edit Your Details on the scheduled post
2. Scroll down to Settings > select Stream
3. Scroll down to Embed live video > Get embed code
4. Select your video size and copy and paste the code into your website.
Important: DO not change any other details in the Edit Your details window. If you want to change details about the broadcast, please do it directly in Be.Live Studio.
