HOW TO SCHEDULE A FACEBOOK LIVE

All the details on this page is for using with a third party app – similar to making your Facebook Live like a Studio Production.

As you are not doing this – you need only click Next.


Treat this very much the same way as you would any post, include location and remember to Tag people you want to see it and of course people you are planning to be with!

Once you have filled this in with compelling content, click the arrow and Schedule


Ensure you read all of the information on the screen!

Schedule your date and time. It must be more than ten minutes and only up to 7 days.

Press Schedule


Now you can see your scheduled event in the list


It will show up on your timeline immediately and if notifications have been allowed by those on your page it will show up the next time they log in to Facebook.
