Facebook Live Streaming is now available for Verified Pages

Facebook Live Streaming 

Facebook is testing a new feature called ‘Live’, which will enable its users to broadcast live videos from their smartphone. Friends and family members will be seeing as it's happening.

The social network first launched Live in August 2015 for selected public figure. Since then, it was used by many politicians, musicians, athletes, and other influencers to connect with their fans and audiences real time using the Facebook Mentions app.

Now it can be used by any verified accounts to make announcements, share breaking news and updates, take fans behind the scenes, host Q&A, and more. The social network until now didn’t specify when it will be available for all users.

To share live video, visit your page on Facebook Page for iOS, tap Publish, and select Live Video. During the broadcast, you'll see the number of viewers—consisting the name of other verified pages or people--and a real-time stream of comments. After the session is over, the complete video will be saved on your timeline and will stay there unless you choose to remove them.

Your Facebook follower can find your recent live videos on their newsfeed. While watching live videos they can hit subscribe on the top right-hand corner of live videos, to get notified next time the page goes live.
