WebinarJam provides a top-of-the-range streaming service. You can choose from the native WebinarJam streaming service, YouTube Live and as of recently – Facebook Live.
However, there are various other great features if you want to integrate with Facebook. We will discuss these integrations in this article.
Can You Use Facebook Live As a Streaming Service on WebinarJam?
There is an option to use Facebook Live as a streaming service on WebinarJam.
However, it is not recommended to use Facebook Live as your main streaming service, and Genesis Digital strongly recommends using an in-house WebinarJam Live streaming solution for a smoother user experience.
You can also integrate with Facebook through Zapier or Facebook Integrations.
WebinarJam & Facebook Integration Possibilities
Even though Facebook Live is not the most recommended streaming service, for the reason of smoother experience – Integrating with Facebook has tons of handy features.
If you activate one of the triggers below, it can create a custom audience or add you to an existing audience.
Facebook Custom Audiences are groups of people who have interacted with your business before, for instance, by visiting your website. They can also be past customers.
Available Triggers:
- New Live Attendee
