StreamLive ProHow to go live on Facebook and LinkedIn at the same time
Go live on a Facebook Page and LinkedIn at the same time: the Page connects once with a sign-in, LinkedIn needs the stream key of each event, and one upload feeds both.
To go live on Facebook and LinkedIn at the same time, connect your Facebook Page to StreamLive Pro once, and for each LinkedIn Live event paste that event's stream URL and key into the LinkedIn Live card. Tick the Page and LinkedIn and press start. StreamLive Pro creates the live video on the Page by itself; LinkedIn receives the picture in the event you created there. The Facebook destination is a Page you manage, not a personal profile or a group. Two destinations fit in the 7-day trial.
Before you start
- A Facebook Page you manage. You need a role on the Page that lets you go live on it (Meta Business Help: Go live with streaming software).
- LinkedIn Live access. LinkedIn offers live video to eligible members and Pages and decides who qualifies (LinkedIn Help: LinkedIn Live overview). StreamLive Pro cannot request it for you.
- A LinkedIn event scheduled ahead. LinkedIn says all live events must be scheduled ahead of time, and that LinkedIn Lives are public and stay on the profile or Page afterwards (same LinkedIn page). Plan the content with that in mind.
- A StreamLive Pro account. The browser studio covers this pair on every plan and in the trial. OBS or vMix as the source needs a paid plan (see the /pricing?lang=en page).
Steps
- Connect Facebook. On Connections click Connect on the Facebook card and sign in on Facebook's screen. When Facebook asks which Pages to allow, tick the Page you want. If you manage several Pages, click Manage pages on the card and pick the ones to use.
- Create the LinkedIn Live event. On LinkedIn, on a computer, create an event on your profile or Page, choose the LinkedIn Live format and the custom stream (RTMP) option, set the time and create it.
- Copy the LinkedIn stream setup. Open the event's stream setup. LinkedIn shows a stream URL and a stream key for that event.
- Paste them into StreamLive Pro. On Connections add LinkedIn Live (stream key) and paste both; one box takes both at once. For later events you paste the new key when you go live.
- Open the studio. Go to Live stream and choose Browser Studio, or Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) on a paid plan.
- Tick both and give Facebook its text. In the Channels list tick the Facebook Page and LinkedIn. Click the Page to give Facebook its own title, description and thumbnail. The LinkedIn title is the one on the event.
- Go live at the event time. Press Start stream. Open the LinkedIn event to confirm the preview shows your picture, and confirm going live there if LinkedIn asks.
- End. Press Stop stream. The live video ends on the Page; check on LinkedIn that the event shows as ended.
Comments on both networks
Facebook Page comments appear in the chat next to the player in StreamLive Pro, and you can reply from there (Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel). LinkedIn comments are not read inside StreamLive Pro: keep the LinkedIn event open in another tab, or ask a colleague to follow it.
What each network gets
| Facebook Page | ||
|---|---|---|
| How it connects | Facebook sign-in, Pages you allow | Stream key of each event |
| Title | Set per broadcast in StreamLive Pro | Set on the LinkedIn event |
| Comments in StreamLive Pro | Yes, read and reply | No |
| Key changes | No key to handle | A new key for every event |
What can go wrong
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The Page is not in the list | The Page was not ticked on Facebook's approval screen | Reconnect Facebook and tick the Page. See My Facebook Page is not in the list |
| No LinkedIn Live format when creating an event | LinkedIn has not made the profile or Page eligible | Only LinkedIn can change this |
| "New key needed" on the LinkedIn channel | The saved key belongs to an earlier event | Open this event's stream setup and paste its key |
| Facebook is live, the LinkedIn event stays empty | Wrong event's key, or the event time has not come | Check the key comes from today's event |
| Facebook does not start | The Facebook permission ended | Reconnect Facebook. See My Facebook live does not start |

Frequently asked questions
Can I go live on a Facebook Page and LinkedIn at the same time?
Yes. Connect the Page once, paste the stream key of the LinkedIn event, tick both channels and start. You upload one stream and StreamLive Pro sends it to both.
Can I stream to my personal Facebook profile and LinkedIn?
The Facebook connection in StreamLive Pro streams to Pages you manage. Personal profiles and groups are not destinations for it.
Do I need a new LinkedIn key every time?
Yes. Every LinkedIn Live event has its own stream key, so paste the key of the event you are about to stream to.
Can I reply to LinkedIn comments from StreamLive Pro?
No. Facebook Page comments appear in StreamLive Pro and you can reply to them. LinkedIn comments stay on LinkedIn.
Is a LinkedIn Live public?
LinkedIn says all LinkedIn Lives are public and that the video stays on the profile or Page afterwards. Check LinkedIn's help page before you plan the content.
