Facebook LiveStreaming on Battle.net Enters Beta
by JR Cook - 8 years ago show comments
It was announced about a month ago that Facebook Streaming would be coming to Blizzard games. Tonight, Battle.net has launched into beta the Facebook Livestreaming.
Several people received emails inviting them to the beta test. You can access the beta features by going to your settings in battle.net, navigating to the “In Development” section and downloading the newest beta build.
Once you have this, you will see in the top right corner a video camera link on your battle.net application. By clicking that, you can start setting up your livestream by connecting to your Facebook account. As of right now, this appears to only work on your own personal page, so if you have a Page set up for your website or something like that that you manage, it doesn’t appear you can connect to that. Not something that would affect most people, but I would like to be able to stream to our BlizzPro Facebook page.
