Configure Live Synidications
Now that you have connected your Facebook and eCatholic LIVE account, you will want to specify what specific pages you plan to stream to. To do so click Add Live Syndication in the bottom right hand corner of the page
Choose Facebook Live as your Destination and then click Next: Broadcast To:
Here you can choose what page you would like your live stream to display on and then click update.
You will then be brought back to the Syndications page and should see Facebook is Connected under step 1 and Enabled under step 2:
You are now all set to have future broadcasts sent both to your website and Facebook!
NOTE: The Facebook Live integration will be set up using your personal Facebook profile. However, in most cases you'll want eCatholic LIVE to publish to a Facebook Business Page you manage (e.g., the Facebook Business Page for your church or school).
During this step, you can specify the Facebook Page(s) on which eCatholic LIVE will be able to publish your live video streams. As a result, you must already be set up as an Admin of the Facebook Page(s) in order for the integration to ultimately allow you to stream on those Pages.
