Set publish destination

By default, when streaming to Facebook, Webcaster X2 sends your stream to your Timeline. However you can also broadcast to a Facebook Page or Group.

  • Webcaster X2 can publish to your Facebook Timeline (default) or to a Facebook Page or Group.
  • You choose the publish destination before you start your stream.
  • Note: Your Group, Event or Page must be created before you pair Webcaster X2 with your Facebook account, else it is not listed as a possible publish destination.
  • Webcaster X2 remembers your selection and uses it again the next time you stream (unless Webcaster X2 is no longer paired with your Facebook account).

To set the publish destination for your live stream you need:

    • Your Webcaster X2
    • An HDMI display (that supports 1080p video) connected to your Webcaster X2
    • A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X2)

Your current publish destination is shown in the info bar at the top of your HDMI display. For example, this shows streaming to a Timeline.
