StreamLive ProConnect YouTube, Facebook and more from the phone app
Connect YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other networks from the StreamLive Pro Android app, choose Pages and channels, reconnect or disconnect.
You can connect your networks from the StreamLive Pro Android app as well as from the website. Open the menu tab, go to the list of connected networks, tap the network under Connect a network, and sign in on the network's own page, which opens inside the app. When you come back, the network is in the list and ready for broadcasts and posts. Connections are stored in your account, so a network you connect on the phone also appears on the website, and the other way round.
Which networks you can connect in the app
The app connects networks by signing in to them: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, LinkedIn, Twitch and Kick. Vimeo, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr and Dailymotion appear only when our server offers them. Destinations that work with a stream key, such as Instagram Live, TikTok Live or your own RTMP or SRT server, are added on the website in Connections; see Connecting your channels — YouTube, Facebook and the rest and Live on Instagram and TikTok with a stream key.
What each network allows is decided by the network:
- Facebook: Pages you manage. Groups and personal profiles are not destinations.
- Instagram: your Instagram account, for posting. For live video, Instagram uses a stream key that changes each session.
- YouTube: to go live, live streaming must be enabled on the channel; the first time can take up to 24 hours.
- LinkedIn Live needs LinkedIn's approval of your account.
Steps
- Open the networks list. Tap the last tab at the bottom of the app (the menu), then the networks item: "Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and more".
- Pick a network. Scroll to Connect a network and tap the network's icon.
- Sign in on the network's page. A sign-in page of the network opens inside the app. Sign in with the account that owns or manages the channel or Page.
- Approve what it asks. The network lists the permissions StreamLive Pro asks for. On Facebook, tick every Page you want to use; a Page you skip there cannot be used.
- Come back to the app. The app returns by itself and shows "connected". The network now appears in the list with a status: Connected, Having trouble or Needs reconnecting.
- Choose Pages and channels. On a network with several Pages or channels, open it and switch on the ones that should receive broadcasts and posts. Only the ones switched on get them.
- Use it. The network now appears when you go live and when you publish: Go live from the StreamLive Pro Android app and Publish a post to every network from the phone app.
Reconnect or disconnect
Networks take back permission from time to time: after a password change, when you remove access in the network's settings, or when your role on a Page changes. The app then shows Needs reconnecting and a Reconnect button. Tap it and sign in again; nothing else changes. Disconnect removes the network from StreamLive Pro after you confirm; broadcasts and posts no longer go there. More on expired connections: Reconnect a channel whose connection expired.
Instagram and its Facebook Page
When Instagram is connected through Facebook, the Instagram account is linked to a Facebook Page. If you tick the Instagram account on Facebook's screen but not the Page linked to it, the app shows that the link is broken and asks you to tick the Page too. Tap Reconnect, choose to edit the settings on Facebook's screen, and tick the Page.
WhatsApp and Telegram groups
Under Content sources the same screen leads to WhatsApp and Telegram groups: what you send to such a group can be published to your networks. That feature is on Pro and Studio and in the trial, not on Creator. See Post to every network from a WhatsApp or Telegram group.
What can go wrong
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Couldn't connect" after signing in | You cancelled, or the network refused a permission | Try again and approve every permission it asks for |
| A Facebook Page is missing | It was not ticked on Facebook's screen | Reconnect and tick the Page; see My Facebook Page is not in the list |
| "Connecting this network is not available yet" | Our server does not offer that network now | Use another network, or check the website later |
| A network shows Having trouble | Our checks saw problems with that connection recently | Wait and check again; if it stays, tap Reconnect |
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to connect networks again in the app if I did it on the website?
No. Connections belong to your account. Everything you connected on the website is already in the app.
Can I connect Instagram Live from the app?
The app connects your Instagram account for posting. Instagram Live works with a stream key that Instagram gives for each session; add it on the website in Connections.
Is the sign-in page safe to use?
Yes. It is the network's own sign-in page. StreamLive Pro never sees your password for YouTube, Facebook or the other networks.
What happens when I disconnect a network?
StreamLive Pro stops sending broadcasts and posts there. Posts already published stay on the network.
Why does my Facebook account show no Pages?
Usually the Pages were not ticked when you signed in. Tap Reconnect and tick them on Facebook's screen.
