Hi … I need to post a live streaming on facebook so viewers can watch my broadcast from my Timeline … According to this article: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-facebook-live-from-wowza-streaming-cloud](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-facebook-live-from-wowza-streaming-cloud) looks very easy to post a live streamin to a facebook, but that only works on wowza streaming cloud right? What about Wowza Engine?? how can I do that? can u help me please? Don’t forget about us jeje ---

You will need to configure the web page where your embedded media player is located with specific metadata that Facebook will consume and use to render a media player in the news feed and when submitted as a page post. Wowza will simply deliver media streams to the client using the URL’s that are called from the player when rendered in a Facebook page - no plugin is required. There may also be player-specific parameters that support Facebook integration. As a reference, take a look at this external post from [Longtail Video](http://www.longtailvideo.com/) (makers of JW Player) where the process is described: [Publish Your Videos to Facebook with a JW Player](http://www.longtailvideo.com/blog/19150/publish-your-videos-to-facebook-with-a-jw-player/) Best, Salvadore ---

ok thanks for your reply yeah this procedure works, but nobody wants to have to create manually these stream targets…and so far i guess there is something wrong/missing in the REST api for this feature ☹ i think wowza is aware of this issue (generally when they dont reply, it means they know, are working on it, and wait to have fresh news to communicate 🙂 can’t blame them they’re doing amazing work, but please richard jason or whoever get back to us 🙂 this is the most exciting wowza feature since the creation of wowza itself 🙂 ---

Hi Salvadore I understand that I need to configure a webpage with specific metadata that Facebook will check, but the link u posted is for jwplayer 5 and the version actual is 7.4 (Actually I use Jwplayer) Anyway I read the post and they say only works for swf or mp4 file … I need to post a live streaming as Wowza promise in the blog: [https://www.wowza.com/blog/the-future-of-video-with-facebook-live-and-wowza](https://www.wowza.com/blog/the-future-of-video-with-facebook-live-and-wowza) They say "Wowza was invited to be one of the early adopters of the Facebook Live API, **and we have enabled the functionality to publish to Facebook Live directly from within Wowza Streaming Engine.** But I can’t find any documentation or instructions on how to do I hope you guys can help me on this ---

Hello, Our Development Team is currently integrating these Facebook API features into Wowza Streaming Engine and this will be available very soon. We understand that the wording in this article referenced could be confusing and our Documentation Team will be reviewing it. Currently we do support Facebook Live streaming via Wowza Streaming Cloud. This does not currently use the Facebook API but our “Hosted Page” in Wowza Streaming Cloud does include the necessary metadata for proper playback on the Facebook timeline. You may find the following article helpful if you decide to use this method: [How to post a live stream in Facebook](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-facebook-live-from-wowza-streaming-cloud) Best regards, Andrew ---
