What is happening YouTube?
In this video,
I am going to show you how to live stream pre-recorded video on Facebook
using a few quick and easy steps. Now,
before we go into the step-by-step process, I do want to mention.
stick to the end of this video, because I'm going to give you a little treat
that's going to help you get more viewers on your Facebook lives
and get more attention on your content on Facebook in general. Stick around.
If you're watching this video that I'm guessing you probably have already been
going live to your audience in the past,
and you understand the power that exists in leveraging the Facebook live
platform. If you have gone live in the past,
just drop a number one in the comments.
If you haven't and it's something you're looking to start doing,
then I want you to drop number two in the comments,
just so I know where everybody is at.
For those of you who have done it.
Maybe you find yourself in the same scenario that I found myself in
when I really started to pump out a lot of content on Facebook.
And that is that you want to take advantage of the Facebook live platform,
but you just don't have the time to always be live.
So that's what this he was going to help you with.
And I'm going to show you how to do it using a tool called OneStream Live.
Let's jump onto my computer screen so I can show you exactly how this tool
works.
The first thing you're going to need to do is obviously you're going to have to
go to the OneStream live website,
which the link to the website is in the description of this video.
So just go click on that link.
And it's going to take you to this page that you see here.
So when you get to this page.
You're going to want to click on sign up because you need to create a brand new
account. It's going to take you to the signup page,
and you're going to create an account. Once you're inside of one stream live,
you're immediately going to see this dashboard.
And it's going to show you this page that says connect your social accounts.
So what the social accounts are is they're the places or locations that you want
to live, stream your content to. If you're trying to live stream to Facebook,
you've got to decide,
are you going to be live streaming to your personal Facebook profile,
inside of your Facebook group or on a public business page that you manage,
or maybe you want to live stream to all of those locations,
whatever the case is,
you're going to click on these buttons to connect those accounts.
Once you connected your social accounts,
then you'll be able to start scheduling live streams.
So the way you're going to do that is really simple. In the top corner,
top left corner of your dashboard, you're going to see this New Stream button.
You can either click on that button or you can come to the drop-down next to it
and choose to schedule a stream.
What it's going to ask you at that point is to upload the video file that you
want to schedule to go live on your Facebook.
Once you've uploaded the video that you want to schedule to go live,
the next step is to customize all of the settings for your live stream. Now,
some of these settings are really important because
it's what people are going to see on Facebook when they're watching your live
stream.
So the first thing that you're going to see is the option to put a title.
Make sure it's something that's going to grab attention.
Make people want to watch your video.
The next option under the title is the description.
The description is the text that's going to show right above your video.
So again, it's very important for you to put something in there,
a headline or something that's going to hook in your audience and get them to
want to watch your video.
The tags are actually not really important for Facebook. So if you want,
you can skip that. But the next section here, you're going to see it says,
Schedule Stream. Whatever time you put here and date,
it's automatically going to go live.
Even if you don't have access to the internet,
you already have your video uploaded to their servers,
and they're just going to make it go live on Facebook.
So it's completely hands-off. They take care of it for you.
Final step, before you save,
you have to choose exactly which social locations you want to livestream to.
Depending on the account that you create with one stream... As I mentioned,
they do have a free plan, but they also have several different paid tiers,
depending on which one you go with, you might have the option to do
what's called multi streaming,
which means that you can upload the same video to go live in multiple locations
at the same time. If you want it to go live on your personal profile,
but at the same time, a separate stream inside of your Facebook group.
and another separate stream inside of your page...
That's something you can do if you purchase one of the paid plans that have
that feature. If you don't care about that, if you're just trying to go live on,
let's say inside of your Facebook group,
all you got to do is choose the Facebook group from the options here and then
click on the Schedule button.
And then from there,
you'll see that it's scheduled and it'll pop up in the sidebar of your
dashboard.
Where it says Schedules right now. For me,
it shows zero because I don't have anything scheduled. For you,
it's going to change. And that's going to say one. And if you click on it,
you'll be able to see videos that you have scheduled.
So now that you understand how one stream live works,
one of the big questions I get from people about this tool is,
"How much is it going to cost me?"
It's going to depend on what exactly you need to do.
If all you're trying to do is live stream videos that are five minutes or less
on the platform, then you could probably get by on OneStream's free plan.
But if you're like me and you want to live stream videos that are longer,
then you're going to need to choose one of the paid plans.
OneStream Live does have several different options that you can go with.
So again, it all depends on what your specific needs are.
Here's a quick outline of what you get with each of the plans so that you can
make an informed decision that works for you...
We interrupt this program to bring you a special message.
Psst. Hey, if this video helped you out at all,
do me a quick solid and click the Thumbs Up button underneath the video.
Every time someone clicks the thumbs up, I give a dolphin a free ice cream,
and dolphins love ice cream. So do it now!
First thing off the bat to mention is the pricing for each package is going to
depend on whether you decide to pay on a monthly basis.
Or if you just want to pay it all upfront yearly.
You're going to notice the prices all go down and you save a bit of money by
doing that. When you create your account on OneStream Live, by default,
you're going to be on the free package here. Now,
the free package is pretty limited. And I would say to be honest,
it's only really useful in my opinion,
if you're going to use this as kind of a hobby.
If you're trying to live stream content for your business,
or if you have a legitimate brand or audience that you're trying to build,
then you're probably going to need to go with one of the paid plans. Luckily,
the paid plans are not that expensive at all.
As you can see here with the prices.
We'll go through those in a minute,
but to give you a quick highlight of what you get with the free plan,
with all of the plans, you can stream an unlimited number of videos.
They're never going to limit the number of live streams that you can do,
but what they are going to limit is the duration of each live stream.
So on the free plan, each livestream can only be a maximum of five minutes long.
If you upload, let's say a 10 minute video, once it hits the five minute mark,
it's just going to cut the video off.
And the live stream is going to stop there.
And the other limitation that you'll get with the free account too,
is that you can only schedule one live stream at a time.
So let's say you record a bunch of content and you want it to schedule out the
next month of content for your Facebook group...
You're not going to be able to do that because.
You can only have one thing scheduled in the queue.
The free plan is good if this is just something that you're doing for fun,
but if you're trying to build a brand,
if you're doing this for the purpose of your business,
or maybe for some kind of non-profit thing you're a part of,
whatever the case is.
You're almost certainly going to have to go with one of the paid plans.
And the biggest thing that differs between each of the paid plans is really the
length of video. On the $10 per month plan,
you're able to upload videos that are up to a maximum of 15 minutes long.
On the $39 per month plan, you have up to an hour max. Now,
if you want to stream anything that's longer than an hour,
then you're going to need to go with the professional plan,
which right now it's $89 per month.
I should make a disclaimer.
These are the prices on the website at the time of me creating the video.
OneStream could update these prices any time.
So the best thing to do to see what the most up-to-date pricing
is to just click the link that I put in the description,
go to their website and at the top of their website,
you're going to see an option for the Pricing link,
and that's going to have the same breakdown. If you this video helpful at all,
