SEF Facebook Live Technical Guidelines

A Computer or a Laptop
- If you are using a desktop computer then you would need a webcam and a microphone.
- If you are using a Laptop then you can use inbuilt webcam and the microphone.
  
  Note
  Can you use a mobile phone? Well, yes, but we don’t recommend it due to several reasons, including the fact that it is difficult to handle.
Internet Connection
- You would be needing a good internet connection since a fast upload speed is important for an uninterrupted broadcast of the live video.

If you are going to conduct the Live Broadcast without any slides, then you could directly go live on Facebook using your web browser.(We highly recommend Google Chrome).
If you have any slides or any third party content like videos,photos and etc to present during the live broadcast, then you would be needing a live broadcasting tool that allows you to share your screen.(we recommend OBS Studio which is available on both Windows and Mac).
You can follow this Video Tutorial for step by step guidance on live streaming using OBS Studio.

Note	Before going live on SEF FB page, we highly recommend you to conduct a rehearsal.

For this purpose we have a created a secret Facebook group where you can go live as a rehearsal. You don’t need to do the full session here , the purpose of this rehearsal is to assure that your FB Live setup is working fine.
SEF team members will give you feedback on the rehearsal.

We will be providing you access to the SEF FB Page as an editor which would provide you with the access privileges to go live on SEF FB page.
