"Very powerful when connected with partnered Live Streaming software"
What do you like best about Facebook Live?

I love the ability to immediately grab my audience's attention with a Live stream and interact with them. We always do a Call-To-Action at the end with a link.

I use Ecamm Live and Be.Live to connect with Facebook Live to broadcast my videos. There, I can draw, present KeyNote slides, display countdown timers, display my CTA or play audios and other videos. You can be as creative as you want with Facebook Live and they have been a source of sales and clients for my business for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

Glitches where prescheduled Lives will not go live due to a URL in the description, or if you're replaying a video live, it will not air. Facebook does not pre-inform you about all of this so you have to guess at what went wrong. We were only able to pinpoint the cause of our videos not airing only when we contacted the support of our Facebook partner. We also had an issue when there was a copyright claim where the algorithm detected that I might have been violating someone's German video, which was false as my video was in English. Live streams unfortunately also are not too broad-reaching nowadays due to changes in the algorithm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Future of Live Streaming"
What do you like best about Facebook Live?

The user-friendly interface and widespread accessibility are indeed great advantages of the platform. Facebook Live offers features such as real-time commenting, reactions, and the ability to save the live stream for future viewing, making it a great tool for connecting with others and sharing experiences in a unique way.

Some of the advantages i see.

1: Widespread reach

2:Real-time engagement

3:User-friendly interface

4:Archiving and saving

5: Cost-effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

Live streaming on Facebook can be affected by technical issues such as poor internet connectivity, which can negatively impact the quality of the broadcast, if they fix that issue and the quality still remains good as youtube or twitch that will be awesome specially for the gamers,Monetization is not offered by Facebook which is making many many people to stop from using it.

"Great"
What do you like best about Facebook Live?

What I do like about Facebook live is that it does give the content creator rechability, allows us as users to interact and be introduced to new content creators all the time , live interaction and smooth experience, if a person does have some internet connection the live stream would run with no issues, also I've come to know local businesses because of this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

When it comes to dislikes nothing major really does come up to mind , maybe the ads that do pop up sometimes are repetitive and annoying other than that I cannot say that there are major concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glitches during the sessions. Sometimes the sound or video hangs up. Otherwise no issues. No, it is good enough. We enjoy doing live sessions. The live sessions are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An intuitive way to share and connect with other people remotely"

Sometimes there are lags during the facebook live stream that could affect the user experience. Camera quality in android devices are usually poor compared to ios device, a gap that should be addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
