Go live on YouTube and Facebook at once from your phone

Go live on YouTube and a Facebook Page at the same time from your phone with StreamLive Pro: connect both once, tick both, go live. One upload from the phone.

Updated · 3 min read

To go live on YouTube and Facebook at the same time from your phone, connect your YouTube channel and a Facebook Page you manage to StreamLive Pro once, tick both before you go live, and start: the phone sends one stream and our servers send it to YouTube and to the Facebook Page together. On Android you can do this in the StreamLive Pro app today (a direct download from streamlivepro.io/app); on an iPhone you do it in Safari, because the app is not in the App Store yet.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Connect YouTube. In the app open Account, then your networks, and tap YouTube under Connect a network. Sign in on Google's page with the account that owns the channel. On the website the same is done in Connections.
  2. Connect Facebook. Tap Facebook and sign in. On Facebook's screen tick the Page you will go live to, and approve. Then open Facebook in your networks list and check that the Page is switched on.
  3. Open the Live tab. Tap Live, then Go live. The Before you go live check shows how many networks are ready.
  4. Tick YouTube and the Facebook Page. Tap Choose destinations and tick both. Leave the others unticked for this broadcast.
  5. Write one title. In "What's this broadcast about?" type the title. It is used on both networks.
  6. Go live. Tap Go live. Each network shows its own status chip: Starting, then Live with the viewer count. If one of them fails, the broadcast goes on to the other one and to your watch page.
  7. Answer the chat. Tap Chat to read messages and send one to all viewers. The chat panel collects messages from YouTube, Facebook and your own watch page: Live chat from YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Kick in one panel.
  8. End once. Tap End and confirm. The live ends on both networks at the same moment.

On an iPhone, do steps 1 and 2 on the website, then go live from streamlivepro.io in Safari: Multistream from an iPhone to several networks at once.

Portrait or landscape

YouTube and Facebook both play a phone broadcast. Decide before you start: from version 1.2.0 of the app, the orientation you go live in is kept until the end; the current Android download broadcasts upright. See Go live in portrait or landscape from your phone.

Frequently asked questions

Does my phone upload twice to go live on YouTube and Facebook?

No. The phone uploads one stream. Our servers send one copy to YouTube and one to the Facebook Page.

Can I go live to a Facebook group or my profile together with YouTube?

No. Facebook live goes to Pages you manage. Groups and personal profiles are not destinations.

Can I go live to two Facebook Pages and YouTube?

Yes, if your plan allows that many networks in one broadcast. Switch both Pages on in the Facebook connection and tick them.

Is the title the same on both networks?

Yes. The title you type in the app is sent to both. You can edit the description on each network afterwards.

Can I do this from an iPhone?

Yes, in Safari on streamlivepro.io. The StreamLive Pro app for iPhone is not in the App Store yet.
