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.

What problems is Facebook Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lead generation, sales, and clients. We use Facebook Live to interact with our 14,000-strong FB group members and show them that we are real people who deliver real value and strategies that work. Facebook Lives allows us to educate and interact with our members in a way we normally can't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
