Facebook, in their infinite wisdom, has tightened up security so your media can’t easily be stolen. That’s a good thing, right? Yes, EXCEPT for when it requires you to become a circus contortionist and jump through so many hoops of fire to access YOUR OWN content that it makes the whole thing not worth it. Maybe FB hasn’t heard the old saying ‘if it ain’t broke, DON’T FIX IT!’
Welcome to 2021 and Facebook’s new and improved Live streaming application. Does it function? Yes. Does it have cool features like live chat and emojis and other crap you don’t need, and probably don’t want? Yes. Does it still allow you to easily embed or download the Live you recorded so you can add it to your website? Not a snowball’s chance in…
I admit, I am not a professional IT guy, nor do I code worth anything. However, I did generate this site, and put together our ‘Live look’ with OBS, so I’m not a total idiot. Before all the new improved crap FB added to the Live, I was able to download and put the live show here. Now I feel like a total dunce because I can’t seem to figure out how to get access to our Facebook Live(s). Thanks for nothing FB.
Fortunately, FB isn’t our only Live stream avenue. WELCOME IN YOUTUBE LIVE! We have been ‘simulstreaming’ our Live show to both FB & YT for the past several weeks. That is soon coming to a halt. We will still do Live’s, but only on YouTube. You can follow that link to our channel. If you don’t have a YT account, sign up (it’s FREE!) and don’t forget to subscribe to the CRN channel so you don’t miss any of our new content.
Thanks for reading, and subscribing 😉
