Facebook Live Video Trough Mentions
If you havent ventured yet into Facebooks
livestreaming video feature, this post will tell
you the basics that you need to know about it. It
created quite a buzz among the group that have
tested it and it sounds promising to those who
are waiting for it. So, what is the deal about
Facebook Live?

A Brief Description
If youre familiar with the livestreaming apps
like Periscope and Meerkat,  it will give you an
idea what Facebook Live is.  Facebook Live offers
the ability to create and watch live videos
without leaving the platform. Just like Periscope
and Meerkat, Facebook Live allows the viewers to
comment and interact with the broadcaster and
fellow watchers.

Facebook Live was first offered to celebrities
and public figures. With the use of the mobile
application Mentions, they can record their live
videos. These videos then appear in the news
feeds of their followers. They also show up in
the broadcasters Facebook page and stay there
long after the airing. The comments made during
the broadcast are likewise retained in the
videos comment box.

How to Gain Access to Creating Live Videos
.When it was first rolled out, only a select
group of people can create Live videos. These are
celebrities or public figures who have a
verified Facebook account and whose page is
classified as public figure.

.If you are interested in having your page
verified.. .If you want to classify your page as
a public figure, do the following. .Once you
have done both, the Mentions app will grant you
access in creating Live videos.

How to Create Live Videos
Now that the Mentions app has allowed you to
create Live videos, click the icon to create a
new post, then you will see the following
options.
.One of the options is Live Video, click that.
You will get a short explanation of what to
do. .Describe your video then click the Go
Live button.

.Once youre live, your video will show up in
the news feed of your followers and they will,
hopefully, start interacting with you. It may
seem scary at first but youll lose the stage
fright eventually. .When the audience starts
commenting, the comments will pop up on the
screen for you to answer.

The Future of Facebook Live
Its a safe assumption that anybodys first
Facebook Live will not go well, with stage fright
and all but that shouldnt stop you from trying
again and again. Facebook Live does not require a
separate app and you are saved from building an
audience. Your Facebook friends and followers are
automatically your captured audience. When they
interact with you, their friends may also see
your video.

One of the complaints about the feature when it
was rolled out was its exclusivity to public
figures. While Facebook did not explain the
reason behind this, its safe to assume that they
were just cautious in rolling out a feature that
has the potential to make a huge change. Most
probably, they wanted to iron out the kinks first
before offering it to the bigger public. Once
Facebook Live works seamlessly, communicating
with followers will change dramatically.
