Live broadcasting to my private FB groups

I have enabled live streaming on Zoom (Group Management/in meeting-advanced) inside my FB groups.

 

I have also enabled Zoom app within FB group settings (again, for both groups).

 

The problem I am experiencing is that from inside the Zoom meeting (... in the right bottom corner) I am only offered to broadcast Live on FB either on my profile, or page. Groups do not appear as an option and I have exhausted all my avenues to try and set it up to work. 

I would greatly appreciate if you could shed some light. 

Many thanks.
Katarina 🙂

Hi @katarinamiletic ! 👋

Happy to help with this! 

Ideally, livestreaming on Facebook is allowed on profiles, pages, and groups. 

 

May I ask if you've also added Zoom as an app on your group? Additionally, make sure that you're following the steps for your chosen way of livestreaming. There are two (2) ways which are via Custom Live Streaming or Direct Streaming.


To check your permissions for a Facebook group

You must have admin permissions for a group to stream. If you have moderator or member permissions, you will not be able to live stream to this Facebook Group.

  1. Log in to your Facebook account.
  2. Search for and choose the group you would like to stream to.
  3. Click Members.
  4. Under Admins & Moderators it will list anyone who is assigned each role for this page. Only admins can stream to a page.
  5. Click ... next to your name.
    • If you are a moderator for the group, you will have the option Remove as Moderator. You will not be able to live stream.
    • If you are an admin for the group, you will have the options Change to Moderator and Remove as Admin. You will be able to live stream.

You will also need to add Zoom as an app for your Group. 

  1. Log in to your Facebook account.
  2. Search for and choose the group you would like to stream to.
  3. On the left side panel, click Settings. 
  4. In the Manage Advanced Settings section, click the edit pencil next to Apps. 
  5. Click Add Apps. 
  6. Search for Zoom, click on Zoom, and then click Add.
  7. Follow the on screen prompts to authorize Zoom to have access to this Facebook group. 

 

For more information regarding this, you may refer to this support document: Facebook Livestreaming Meetings or Webinars

I do hope this helps!

Best,

King
