In this episode Mark will be trawling back through all the backgrounds he has used for his livestreams over the past 7 years.

From starting with a pretty messy office to his current ambient LED light set up he has now , via a whole host of different configurations over the years, including Greenscreen set up as well.

Although Dan is fairly new to using an office set up for livestreaming, he will give his own take on what he has done to improve his own set up.

In this Episode we are covering how you go live in a Facebook Group. Facebook announced recently that they are removing API access to Groups via 3rd Part tools in April 2024.

This means that tools like OBS, Streamyard, EVMUX, Wave Live Video and many others won't be able to connect as easily to any Groups on FB and live stream. It will also impact the ability to see any comments on those livestreams.

A couple of episodes ago we showcased a way we are now using to bring live comments into our own livestreams, which can help with this impending challenge.

Join us on Wednesday at the earlier time of 10am GMT and see us showcase how to still stream to a FB Group and also how we can bring in the comments from a FB Group Livestream moving forward.

Join us to find out what we got up to and how we enhanced the atmosphere of the night.

In this episode we will be covering how we bring in comments from multiple streaming platforms to make a more interactive experience for viewers.

Most of the browser based streaming platforms have this feature integrated, so you can highlight the comments onscreen from the platform you are streaming to, but we are doing things a little differently to most people.

Join us to find out how we are able to bring in comments from multiple platforms to our vMix switcher software with the click of a button.

Please ask us any questions during the livestream or in the comments if you are unable to be with us live.

In today's show we will be discussing how we are streaming in both landscape and portrait at the same time.

Our landscape stream is going out to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and the portrait stream is going out to Instagram.

We are using a combination of vMix, Central Control and Restream to manage all this and we'll talk you through the set up.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments.
