FAQ
Why is the wrong Facebook Profile appearing for me to choose?
When connecting to Facebook, StreamYard will automatically connect to the profile that you are currently logged into your browser with. If you are seeing the wrong profile, try navigating directly to Facebook.com, logging out of your current profile and logging into the correct one there before trying to connect it again in StreamYard. Alternatively, try opening StreamYard an in a private window and connecting the profile there.
Why is StreamYard is saying it lost/will lose connection to my Facebook Profile?
Sometimes StreamYard may lose access to the correct permissions for us to be able to connect to Facebook and access your profile information. If you see that the connection is lost, navigate to your destinations tab, click the three dots on your Facebook destination and click Reconnect. If you still encounter issues, try clicking Remove to remove the destination fully, before adding it back to your account agin.
