With more people turning to live video to connect with their community during COVID-19, we’re actively working on ways to enhance the live experience on Facebook. We’ve been hearing feedback from our partners about how a feature like Live With could help them connect with their communities, so we’re excited to announce that we’re bringing back Live With on Facebook.
Live With is a built-in co-broadcasting feature for Facebook Live that lets you invite another person into your live broadcast and stream to an audience. With this feature, you can bring on a guest speaker, interview an expert, or perform with a fellow artist, among other use cases.
As the host, you can select a guest to go Live With during a mobile live broadcast from your Page or profile:
- Tap the ‘Live’ icon at the top of News Feed of your profile or Page
- Tap the ‘Live With’ icon at the bottom of the screen
- Select the person you want to invite from the list of viewers and tap ‘Add’
Note, while Pages can go Live With a profile, they cannot add another Page to their live stream.
The host can add or remove their guest from the live broadcast at any time. Similarly, guests can remove themselves from the live broadcast at any time. As with all content on Facebook, Live With broadcasts are subject to the same Community Standards
as Facebook Live videos.
Live With on Facebook will begin rolling out today and launch globally in the coming days. We look forward to introducing new features in the coming weeks to make the experience more interactive.
