Datavideo Facebook Live / RTMPS support


Overview

Facebook Live is transitioning to RTMPS (RTMP over a TLS/SSL connection) as of May 1st, 2019. We are actively working on supporting RTMPS for our current line of streaming encoders.  We are in the process of beta testing several firmware updates prior to making them available for release. 

We will release firmware updates on the individual product pages as soon as they are available.

**UPDATE** - Facebook has extended to transition timeframe for the RTMPS requirement to November 1, 2019.

Here are some restrictions that Facebook has in place with streaming:

  • If you start a Live session on your FB personal account, the “Use a secure connection” is greyed out. You are forced to use RTMPS. 

 

  • If you start a Live session on your FB Page (Business Account), the “Use a secure connection” is available and can be unchecked thus you can use RTMP.
