Facebook Live became extremely popular lately and many users of Larix Broadcaster for Android and iOS and Larix Screencaster for Android also started publishing live to Facebook. We get questions about correct setup of Larix products so this brief instruction explains this process.
When you set up Facebook Live transmission on Facebook setup page, you get these settings:

From Larix UI perspective the setup is performed with the following steps. We assume you've installed Larix using links from this web page.
Open the app and click on gear icon to see the main menu. Go to Connections then click on New connection menu.
It will open a new connection dialog. Enter any descriptive name for a new connection and then insert your connection URL.
Once you save changes, a new connection will appear in connections list. To use this new connection for further streaming, just click on its respective checkbox.
Once you get on the main video preview screen, you can tap on big red circle to start streaming.
