Embedding a Facebook Live Video

Many video streaming platforms, like Facebook and YouTube, provide an embed code that allows you to add the video player to your website. Embedding a video is ideal if you want people to watch on your website instead of the platform. This article walks through the process of finding the embed code for a scheduled Facebook Live video. 

To Embed a Facebook Live stream, you will first need to setup a Facebook Live Scheduled Stream.

Once the stream has been created, a new post will appear on the Facebook destination you selected.
