What do you like best about Facebook Live?

Facebook Live allows me to showcase what my company is doing to all my followers and they don't have to be at the event I am at. All I have to click a button and they see what I'm seeing without being there. They can just use their phone or computer to watch an act of mine or see a food spread, etc! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

As with any social media platform sometimes the comments that people make when using the product are inappropriate. But that is what we are all use to when using Facebook! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Facebook Live:

Try it, why not it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I'm at one of my concerts I'm able to share the experience with all my followers and they don't have to be there in person. It comes in very handy especially during Covid Times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Live?

The best thing about Facebook Live is that it is beneficial for the people who are doing business. Facebook live helps them increase customer engagement by making a live stream for up to four hours and explaining the importance and usefulness of their products to people. This helps in increasing the brand engagement and hence the sales. Facebook live also allows the videos to be saved at the person's profile so the people who cannot join during live can watch it afterward. It also helps students to watch the study classes and learn new things according to their interests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

Things I dislike about Facebook Live is that sometimes the people using it can experience some problems such as the poor quality of audio or video. This does not allow the streamer to spread the right message with complete information. Hence, it can sometimes decrease customer engagement. Also, many people on Facebook can criticize the person doing a live stream and spreading the wrong message about the person. These things need to be fixed, and such persons should be blocked from using Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problems I am solving using Facebook live are that I use Facebook Live to get complete information about the product I like or about the product I am planning to buy. Facebook live helps me to get complete information from the person selling it. Also, I use Facebook Live to learn something new from the teachers who do live streams on Facebook. This is helping me to become a better person, and these are the benefits I have realized using Facebook Live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Live?

The best part is. First you can connect with all your friends and followers in one go show them live what you are doing example, if you traveling or if you are an content creator and doing live stream or you want to teach online this tool is the best way to connect

If you are a creator doing live will connect you to more brands along with more viewers you can show yourself what you are good at. Also, live streaming help to generate revenue for the content creator

Live also helps a page to promote live video in advance and creating reminders. You have options to save the live video once you are done.

Overall a win-win situation for both general users and content creators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

The thing I don't like about Facebook live is the video quality I have tried with multiple networks starting from mobile to using wife with 25 Mbps, 100mbps, and 250 Mbps ( my current network ) every single time the video quality is either blurry or it will fluctuate between good-bad-excellent result is if I'm traveling and want to shows others what I am looking at possible chances is my friend list people will join but will leave due to video quality. Live can work for you or against you. For example, if a content creator or influencer is going live and video quality is low, the viewers will not stick to the video Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Facebook Live:

The social media platform is vast use it wisely to grow and help others to grow. You can learn, adapt, evolve. Everything is in your hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Facebook live, I am slowly growing as an influencer using Facebook live to promote. Recently I was contacted by one of the traveling companies to promote their page; apart from using other social media platforms, I am also using my Facebook live options to promote and grow.

Apart from this social media interaction, I am using Facebook live to teach live coding and to young college students. The reason I use Facebook live is not everyone got great bandwidth to watch everything live so when I'm teaching, they can pause the live video, let it buffer, and continue their studies which are not possible in most of the tools.

Ideally, I am growing myself and helping others to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Live?

The most significant upside of Facebook Live is the user's social experience. Our audience on Facebook Live has a place to communicate with our organization and communicate with all other Facebook users who are watching along, which serves an excellent purpose for a church congregation who is worshipping at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

When we first tried live streaming directly through Facebook Live, there were critical issues, including inconsistent streaming due to connectivity issues and an inability to receive insight information about viewers that watched the video through Facebook Live's embed code on our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Facebook Live helped us quickly solve the problem of getting our live services out to people to watch from wherever they are. It also gives a space for the community aspect of the church to still happen even digitally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Live?

If you have a Facebook account, there is barely any setup involved in using the platform. It is a very easy to navigate service, with plenty modern video conferencing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Live?

It is Facebook. So you can only use this service with a Facebook account. In the professional world, this platform is not heavily adopted, and most clients and employers will choose Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams before Facebook Live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Facebook Live:

This is an excellent platform if you are looking to use it informally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

None now, since we have switched to Zoom. It was an easy tool to use, and it is excellent if you are looking for a quick way to video call friends on your Facebook account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
