All you need is:

• Computer/laptop
• Web camera
• Facebook account
• Chrome browser
• Stable internet connection.

Since BeLive account is connected to one personal Facebook profile the only way to access it is to login via this Facebook profile. Each BeLive user will need an account, connected to their Facebook profile.

All the BeLive accounts are connected to personal Facebook profiles, but you can broadcast to any page that you manage or group that you are a member of (group needs to have BeLive app installed by admins of the group). You will select the destination of a broadcast when you create one.

BeLive only works in Google Chrome. It's preferable to have the latest version of Chrome, find out how to check your version here.

You can broadcast to your timeline, page or group. Due to Facebook restriction broadcasting to events is not available. To broadcast on a page, make sure you either have an "Admin" or "Editor" role. And for a group, please, make sure BeLive app is installed by the admin of the group.

Currently, it is not possible to broadcast to several pages simultaneously. To go live to two different pages/groups, you can share the Facebook post of your broadcast (before that make sure your privacy settings are set to public).

For both the free trial & paid subscriptions the time limit is 4 hours per broadcast. For the free plan the time limit is 20 min per broadcast.

In the Production Studio click on the gear icon near the "Connect camera" button. Choose from the drop-down menu which external mic or camera you want to use for the broadcast.

Once a broadcast is scheduled, you can edit only the text of the post. To change any other details, you would have to schedule a new broadcast.

Facebook controls the timezone setting on BeLive. Facebook takes time from the timezone setting on your computer, so your broadcast will always be scheduled in the timezone that is set on the device you use. Beware, that "time zone settings" are different from "time settings".

At the same time, each Facebook user will see the time of the post with scheduled broadcast according to their timezone, that's why the time showed can be different, but it is still the same time.

If you are experiencing problems with the timezone on Facebook, the best solution is to go into the "Date and Time" settings on your computer, click "Change Timezone" button, and select the proper timezone for your area.

Yes, we do! In Talk Show mode you can manage a broadcast as a remote operator. To do this connect as a host and send your anchor the guest link. After your guest connects to the broadcast, pull them from the lobby to the broadcast area and stay yourself in the lobby. This way, you will be able to manage the broadcast as a remote operator that is not visible to the audience.
