Before you start connecting your Facebook group, there're is a couple of essential things to do outside Wave.video.

  • To connect a Facebook group as your live streaming destination, you need to be an Admin or Editor for this group. Make sure you're logged in to Facebook using the relevant account.

  • Make sure live streaming is enabled for your group. It is the usual case for new groups to have live streaming disabled by default. Here's an article about how to find these settings and turn live streaming on:

Once your Facebook settings are ready, go to your Wave.video account, choose the My streams & recordings section, then go to Destinations.

Step 2. If it's the first time you connect your Facebook group or page to Wave.video, you'll be asked to give the app a bunch of permissions to use your data, such as:
