Why is Facebook Live not streaming my video?
Facebook Live has strict streaming specs that users must adhere to. The specs are as follows:
Video resolution:
720p max, 30fps
Keyframe interval:
2 seconds
Duration:
4
hours
Audio
bitrate:
128Kbps
Configuring the VidiU via front panel is difficult.
We recommend using VidiU’s web interface or the VidiU iOS app for configuring VidiU. It’s much faster and
simpler.
To connect with the iOS app, connect VidiU and your iOS device to the same wireless network. VidiU will
automatically appear in the app.
To connect using the web interface, find your VidiU’s IP address from the front panel. Type this address into
your web browser. You will be connected to your VidiU and can change settings accordingly (see pg. 8).
I’ve pressed the Start/Stop button to go live, but my stream is not live.
Some streaming networks such as Periscope, YouTube events, and Facebook Pages may require additional
steps to publish your stream.. This depends on the CDN’s workflow. Remember to go live on both VidiU and
destination page to fully start streaming (see Platform Settings on pg. 16).
