Okay. In this video, I'm going to show you how to go live on Zoom and integrate it into your Facebook group. If you want to go into multiple groups, there's another video that I've recorded for you for that. But if you want to have it as more of a direct connection into Facebook, especially if that live streaming thing on the side doesn't work, I'm going to show you a way that will always work. So here we go. First things first, you've got to schedule a meeting in Zoom. I believe you guys all know how to do that, so I won't spend time there. Then you've got to create an event on Facebook. I'm going to go ahead and use test group here.
Go to events. I'm going to create an event. I'm going to say test and then virtual.
See, that's Facebook Live. Okay. And then if you wanted to invite everyone, you would invite everyone. So that's normal. And then we're going to create the event here.
All right, so now that that is done.
All right, so we are going to now go into the event, which is here. And I think my stuff's covering it. Okay. Where it says set up live video, we're going to do that.
Okay. And then we're going to say streaming software. We'll say our title.
We are going to go ahead and copy the string key.
And then I'm going to go ahead and now record for my phone. Okay, so now we're going to go into Zoom, and we're going to go under the More tab. And then we're going to say live on custom streaming live service. And it pulls us up here. I always have to switch it, though, because it always goes into Safari app for some reason. I don't know what it'll do for you, but for me it does that. So now I have to put it into Chrome. And now this is when I'm going to fill out the rest of the stuff. Okay, so now I'm going to show you how to plug in the numbers.
Okay, so now we're back at the event, and we're going to copy the stream key and we're going to put it in here where it says stream key. And now we are going to hit the advanced settings and we're going to copy the server URL and we're going to put that where it says streaming URL. And now we need to get the live page streaming URL. So we get this from the actual event. So let me show you how we're going to pull that up.
This one does get easier as you do it, so just know there's a lot of steps, but it definitely gets more simple the more you do it, the more. Okay, test here.
All right, here we go. We're going to copy the link. There we go. And we're going to go back here live page, streaming URL. So I'm putting that there. Go live. No, thank you.
All right, and so now we have to set up the live video.
And this is where we would say, go live. It says, we're in the test group, and that's go live. So this one works every time. So it's just a matter of understanding each of those sets. So there I am. I am live. Okay, I'm going to end that video. And. And. All right, so we have that. For now, I think Zoom's probably going to come up with some better options, I would imagine. But for now, if you're only going in one group, this one will work every time. So if the other way is working for you, do that. But if you're having any trouble, this one is really reliable. This is how I did it for a while, until I. I don't know if I didn't know there was another way to go or whatever it was, but anyway, it works. That's the point. Okay, guys, hang in there. We got this. Zoom is our friend. Okay, bye.
