If you are having trouble streaming to Facebook, you may be seeing any of the following behaviors:

  • Stream status is stuck as "Sending Data"

  • The stream doesn't start on Facebook

The easiest way to start troubleshooting this is to make sure you have all the necessary permissions to stream to Facebook by reconnecting your Facebook channel.

Remove your Facebook from the Restream dashboard.

  • Press the Edit destinations button.

  • Press Edit beside the Facebook channel.

  • Press remove destination.

  • Make sure to tick the option Remove all permissions and press the Remove button.
