This capability enables you to live stream your Zoom meetings or webinars to your Facebook followers, simplifying the process of connecting with a larger audience and interacting with them instantly.
Before we get started, make sure you have a Zoom account and are logged in. Also, ensure that you have a Facebook account and are an admin or editor of the Facebook page you want to broadcast on.

Now it’s time to connect your Zoom account with your Facebook account. Open the Zoom web portal in your browser and sign in. Navigate to the “Settings” tab and click on “Meeting.” Scroll down until you find the “Social Media Live Streaming” section and click on the “Configure” button next to “Facebook”.
You’ll need to grant Zoom permission to manage your Facebook pages. Click on the “Connect to Facebook” button and follow the prompts to authorize the connection. Once connected, you’ll be able to select your Facebook page for live streaming.

Now that everything is set up, it’s time to start the Facebook Live stream. Open the Zoom app and join your scheduled meeting. Once you’re in the meeting, click on the “More” button in the toolbar and select “Live on Facebook”.
A pop-up window will appear, asking you to log in to your Facebook account if you haven’t already. Once logged in, you’ll see a preview of your live stream. Give it a final check and click “Go Live” to start streaming on Facebook.
During the live stream, you can interact with your audience by reading comments and answering questions. When you’re ready to end the stream, click on the “End Live Stream” button.
