Exactly the info I’m trying to find out also. It’s strange that I can’t find anything about this from zoom.

@JayneBagshaw and @Kristina16marie,

 

Don’t know where you heard this, but I certainly haven’t heard anything from Zoom that live-streaming to Facebook will be affected in any way. Can you point to the source of this info, so I can research??

This announcement from the Facebook developers: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/01/23/introducing-facebook-graph-and-marketing-api-v19/

 

if you scroll down to the section marked Depreciation & Breaking Changes it says permissions that allow publishing to groups will be removed from all versions:

Deprecating Facebook Groups API

The Facebook Groups API is deprecated in v19 and in 90 days will be removed from all versions. This deprecation includes all Permissions (publishto_groups, groups_access_member_info) and Reviewable Features (Groups API) associated with the Facebook Groups API

If this change does not affect zoom’s ability to stream directly into a private Facebook group, that would be wonderful but I haven’t heard one way or another. Thanks so much for looking into this! 
PS - I had to remove the underscore between the words “publish” and “to” in the developer code because the community standards think I’m trying to say a bad word. 😆

LIVESTREAM FROM ZOOM TO MY FACEBOOK GROUP - There is a lady on YouTube who did a video a few days ago very helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_r7CW49KL8  - I would like to find out why I have been getting messages from zoom after I have installed all of the correct features and when i hit livestream I get the following message( Error: Failed to connect to Zoom services  Please refresh the app and try again.  Logging out of all streaming platforms and adding these channels again may solve the error.  If the erro persists, contact zoom support. )  I did log out of zoom, deleted the apps and started the process all over again.  Still receive the same error message.  Would like to have this solved.  Thanks
