Facebook says you don't meet the criteria to go live

Facebook made a change on June 10th that limits some Facebook destinations from going live. In order to stream to a Facebook Page or Profile: 

  • Your account must be at least 60 days old. 
  • Your Page or professional profile must have at least 100 followers.
  • To go live from a Page, you need to have Facebook access or task access to create content.

Can I stream via custom RTMP instead?

No, unfortunately when Facebook limits you from streaming you cannot live stream at all. 

I meet the criteria but still can't stream? 

If you meet the criteria but still see this error, your profile/page may be too new. Facebook recommends having an "established presence" before you are able to stream there successfully. We recommend trying again in a few weeks.
