Hi [@Florin Stana](http://community.wowza.com/community/questions/46555/stream-to-facebook-page-does-not-work.html#),

Are you able to use another Facebook account to push to a page?

If so this issue could be due to an API rate limit.

There are several things we can suggest:

1. Disable the stream target when not in use.

2. FaceBook enforces a standard account level API rate limit. 200 calls per app per hour per user in aggregate. If you manage multiple targets with a single FaceBook account, we would suggest limiting the number of targets setup under a single FaceBook account.

3. Do not leave the Stream Target page open in the browser. The ongoing refresh option initiates status calls to the targets.

Update 4.7.3 does have improvements to Facebook stream targets and API rate usage, but depending on your usage it could be over the Facebook limits.

Regards,

Alex C.
