LiveStream on Facebook

If you're interested in broadcasting events live on the Web (not to mention mobile devices or your own website) this one's for you.

Video service and destination Livestream made a whopper of an announced today - users can now stream (live stream mind you) directly to Facebook - that's pretty big news in the world of video.

 

As you might imagine, the opportunities here are endless for marketing and sales professionals. Everything from full scale live webinars to more intimate presentations can be conducted... on Facebook - courtesy of the Livestream app. 

All that is required, besides having a livestream account, is to download Livestream's desktop app (free) dubbed Livestream Procaster and within one-click you'll be posting your live video stream onto your Facebook pages.

 

Additional features include the ability to manage multiple pages, add a chat box next to the player, and brand the player (customization options include the ability to add header images).
