How to find your Facebook Live Server URL and Stream Key

Use Facebook Live with Teleprompter Automatic by copying the Server URL and Stream key from Facebook Live Producer. Teleprompter Automatic does not create the Facebook event for you yet; it sends your camera feed to the RTMP or RTMPS destination you paste.

Before you start

Open Facebook in a desktop browser when possible. Decide whether you are going live on your profile, a Page, or a group, because Facebook shows the stream details inside the setup flow for that destination.

Find the Facebook Server URL and Stream key

  1. Open Facebook Live Producer or go to facebook.com/live/create.
  2. Choose where the live video will be posted.
  3. Select streaming software as the video source.
  4. Copy the Server URL and Stream key shown by Facebook. If Facebook offers a persistent stream key, use it only when you are sure you want to reuse the same key.

Use the details in Teleprompter Automatic

  1. Open your script in Teleprompter Automatic.
  2. Choose Live Stream, then Facebook.
  3. Paste the Facebook Server URL into Stream URL.
  4. Paste the Facebook Stream key into Stream Key, then start the stream from the app.
  5. Return to Facebook Live Producer, confirm the preview, add the post details, and start the broadcast there if Facebook requires confirmation.

Keep the key private

A stream key works like a password for your live destination. Do not show it on screen, save it in public notes, or send it in support screenshots.
