LiveCast first to offer live video streaming from your mobile to Facebook

Chances are you, or several people you know, have Facebook. And chances are you know that people use it to share their photos and videos. It has quickly become one of the must have tools in the world of social networking. And as of this week, LiveCast members can stream events live to their Facebook page from their mobile device with a new Facebook Connect application! Not to be too boastful but this also means that LiveCast is the first to offer live video streaming from your mobile device to Facebook.

 

Here’s how to set up up your Facebook page:

1) Login to your LiveCast account and click on 'Manage My Video' tab.

2) Select 'Social Networks Setup' option, click on 'Facebook Connect' button, and enter your Facebook username and password.

 

Note: You’ll have the option to auto-post all the videos you stream or to manually select the video you want to stream.

 

3) Click save.

 

Now that you’ve set this up, go ahead and grab your mobile device to see how it works.

 

Here’s how to post to Facebook from your mobile device:

 

1) Launch LiveCast, and tap 'Start' to begin the live stream

2) On a Windows Mobile device, select the drop-down menu for 'Sharing', select Facebook and tap the 'Share' button. For Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones, select 'Sharing' from the options menu, then select Facebook.

 Your live stream will be posted on your Facebook page! If a friend misses the live stream, the link will then playback the archived file.

 That’s it! It really is that easy.

 

We’ve been playing it with here at the office but we’d love to hear your feedback and any new ideas about how we can make this even better.

Can this feature be used from a windows laptop or is a windows mobile device required?
