Zoom Webinar

Zoom Webinar makes it pretty easy to go live using their platform. Plus like BlueJeans this platform has a dual purpose. You can also use Zoom Webinar to host your webinars then seamlessly broadcast them live to Facebook or YouTube. This is one of the few platforms you can use to go live on both. Just be careful when going live there is no countdown like you may or may not be familiar with through Facebook and other platforms. So after you hit go live put a smile on and make sure you aren't futzing around too much, until you double check that you are indeed live. I've created a free cheat sheet for you with a full breakdown of all 5 of the apps and platforms I've mentioned in this quiz. So you can check them all out and compare the features.

BeLive.tv
Image Source
BeLive.tv is one of my favorite platforms to use when I am going live on Facebook. For a couple of different reasons. First, you can schedule your broadcast from BeLive and it creates a post on your biz page which allows people to "get reminders" about when you will be going live. Also when you share this post in other locations (pages, groups or events), it will give people in those locations a chance to get a reminder and when you go live on BeLive your live broadcast will automatically start broadcasting in all of the locations you shared that broadcast.

OBS Studio is the most technical of all of the apps and platforms mentioned here. I have a full breakdown, step by step hassle free setup and training videos on how to set this up inside the Go Live Like a Pro training area. You will have the most latitude here to get super creative and produce a really high-end professional live show. When using this app you can not see Facebook comments, so you do have to open a browser window and have your Facebook Live pulled up to be able to interact or you can have a Producer who is reading comments to you and helping you behind the scenes.
