Can you go Live on two Facebook Pages at once

Livestreaming has become extremely popular in recent years. Hundreds, if not, thousands of aspiring streamers launch their very first livestreams each day.

With that said, being in sync with the latest livestreaming technology is a definite must if you want to be the best streamer you can be.

Regardless of whether you are livestreaming games, tutorials, or even trading, knowing as many livestreaming trade secrets as possible can put you a few bars above other streamers.

A good place to start is learning the opportunities each livestreaming application has to offer and choosing the right platform to start streaming on.

Whether you are a newbie streamer or an experienced veteran content creator, choosing Facebook as a streaming platform will always be the easiest and arguably most beneficial platform to start in.

It is common practice for streamers of any niche to create a Facebook page and stream their content. From there, streamers do what they can to earn stars, likes, and shares from their audience.

You’d think the opportunities offered by Facebook streaming end there, but have you ever considered streaming on more than one Facebook page? Is it doable? With the right software, it is!

 

Why Livestream On Multiple Facebook Pages

While livestreaming on your page can bring in a good amount of viewers, there are still a few more things you can do to kick things up a notch.

Surely you have observed live-streaming fans sharing streams to their personal Facebook profiles or to different Facebook groups in the name of supporting their favorite streamer.

So why would you, the streamer, even need to stream to multiple Facebook pages?

Think of it this way; If you own a Facebook Group or page, a personal Facebook profile, and A Facebook fan page for your brand, it is unlikely that all the followers and self-publishers  of one page, follow the other pages as well. There will always be some fans who might have forgotten to follow the business page or did not get the memo to join the group.

Now, if you want to reach every fan you have, on all your pages, streaming to each page individually might be too much work.

Our very own Dale from Live Streaming Tech realized this problem a year and a half ago and came up with a quick and easy solution: Restream.io.

 

What is Restream.io

Restream.io is a super powerful multistreaming application that allows the user to stream content across multiple applications simultaneously.

Needless to say, the ability to stream content to Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube at the same time is a game-changer.

To make things even better, Restream.io released a new tool called Restream Studio which allows users to livestream to multiple platforms on their browsers.

Yes, this may sound like a new thing to learn, but worry not! Setting up a browser tool like Restream Studio is easy, and here’s how.

 

How to Set up Restream.io

The first thing you need to set up and take full advantage of Reastream.io is to have premium access.
