There are a couple of constraints though and as pointed out, you require a Facebook PAGE:

The background will turn dark and a popup will appear that may aim to utilize your webcam immediately if you have one connected to your computer system. If not you will see this picture:.
Click on "Link" as significant in red. Now we are presented with the details we need for our streaming software:.
Copy the Streamkey and paste it into the Streamkey area in the settings of OBS:.
Crucial: The Stream Secret can only be utilized for a single Live preview/post connection. You should use the exact same URL and key to sneak peek and post. That is, you can not preview, stop the stream, and then resume at a later time. The URL and Key also expire 24 hours after production.
Make certain all your settings (Audio specifically) are all set. Scenes and sources setup should be done before you start going live. If you inadvertently stop your stream you will have to produce a brand-new live video and copy over the brand-new stream secret into the OBS settings. When all set, start streaming in OBS.

After a few seconds you must see the following message:.
