Broadcasters can now schedule a live video in advance through the Live API, providing
the option for potential viewers to opt in to be notified ("Get Reminder") when the
Live broadcast starts. Now you can make sure that the audience that wants to see
your live video doesn't miss a second of the live broadcast!
A scheduled live video will help broadcasters:

live and upload an image
9. Hit "Schedule"
TIP
• Posts must be scheduled
between 10 minutes and 7
days from when you create
them.
• If you don't select a custom
image, your Page's profile
photo will show by default

7. Audience View: Getting a Reminder for a Live Video
The audience that follows your Page may
see a post in their News Feed that you plan
to go live
If they tap "Get Reminder" then they will
receive a notification in advance of your
live broadcast inviting them to tune in
TIP
• People who don't follow your Page can also
sign up for a notification, so if another Page
shares your announcement post, their
followers may choose to receive a reminder
too
Once a follower hits "Get Reminder," they'll see a
checkmark confirming they've opted in to be notified
when the live broadcast is about to begin

8. Audience View: Joining a Live Broadcast & Live Lobby
The announcement post will show the
option to "Join" the lobby 3 minutes
before the broadcast is scheduled to begin
Once a viewer joins the lobby, they will see
the countdown and have the ability to
interact with other audience members
who are waiting for the broadcast to begin
