Live streaming your presentation on Remo means more viewers for the awesome content you’ve worked so hard to put together! Who wouldn’t want that?


With Remo’s new live streaming functionality, you can stream your presentation from Remo straight to Facebook Live!


Here’s how to do it:


Requirements

  • A Remo Event
  • A Facebook Account

Setting up Facebook Live as a stream destination


1. Go to your My Events dashboard and locate the event you’d like to live stream. Click the pencil icon to go the event’s settings


2. Click on ‘Advanced’ and then ‘Stream


3. Click on ‘Add RTMP Destination


4. Open your Facebook Live in a new tab


5. Select ‘Go Live’ and then ‘Streaming Software


6. You can select whether you’d like to start live streaming immediately or later from the When are you going live dropdown


7. Whichever option you chose, you should be able to see a Streaming Software Setup section, as shown below. This is where you can retrieve your streaming information:

A: Stream Key

B: Stream URL8. Copy this information and paste it in the respective fields on Remo


9. Enter a name for ‘Destination Name’ (we’d recommend something like Facebook Live)


10. Click ‘Save Destination


Starting the Live Stream

11. Enter your Remo event and click the ‘Present’ button from your bottom menu toolbar


12. Make sure the option to ‘Start streaming out to Facebook Live’ is selected. Choose whether to start your presentation immediately or in 30 seconds.13. Once you’re in presentation mode and the presenter has joined the stage (turned on mic or cam), you can check your Facebook Live Control Room to see whether the stream has connected successfully

14. Enter a title and description for your live stream


15. Once you’re ready to start live streaming, you can click ‘Go Live’! If you chose to schedule your live stream in Step 6, you can click ‘Schedule live video’ instead!


Stopping the Live Stream

16. To stop your livestream, you need to first stop sending the stream from Remo to Facebook Live. To do this, you can either:

  • Return to Conversation Mode: By stopping presentation mode and returning everyone in your Remo event, you will stop streaming out to Facebook Live. Use this option if you plan on restarting your stream later in your event.
  • Deleting your Stream Destination: If you'd prefer not ending Presentation Mode in Remo, you can instead go into your event's settings and delete the destination directly. This will immediately stop any active live streams from that event without interrupting your event on Remo. Using this option though, means you cannot restart your stream later in the event.


17. If you do not plan on streaming again in the same event, you need to end the stream from Youtube Live as well. In your Facebook Live Control Room, click ‘End live video’. This will officially end your stream to Facebook Live.
