Facebook Live Events are functionalities that allow users to stream real-time videos to their friends or followers. They are used for various purposes such as broadcasting presentations, webinars, workshops, concerts, or simply sharing moments from one's daily life. They engage audiences in a unique, interactive way, facilitating virtual presence, real-time feedback, and interaction, regardless of geographical boundaries.

You can stream to Facebook Events only with Small LiveReacting Subscription or higher. Check Subscription plans here.
