Powerful tools that improve people's lives
Facebook Live with donate button lets people, public figures and Pages raise money for a cause through a live video stream.
The Live API is ideal for larger events. You’ll be able to bring in video from multi-camera setups and programmatic sources such as games or screencasts.
Activating a Scheduled Live on Facebook notifies your audience that the verified Page plans to go Live on Facebook on a certain date, allowing supporters to subscribe to receive a notification.
Once finished, your Live video will publish in entirety to your Facebook Page, allowing supporters to discover the video later.
Attach any existing Facebook Fundraiser to a Live video to collect donations for that Fundraiser.
Supporters without a Facebook account can now view your Live videos. Schedule your Live and share the provided URL.
Viewers with limited internet can choose an audio-only option. Choose to have automatic closed captions for the hearing impaired or those who prefer to read.
