AWS LiveStream to Facebook Live

We will need a bit more information to be able to troubleshoot this issue. Either file a ticket via the Support Center (Top right corner of the MediaLive console - Support - Support Center), or direct mail me the MediaLive Channel ARN where you tested this out. Any errors being reported on the Facebook would also be appreciated.

As for how to configure a MediaLive to output to Facebook: Take a look at the RTMP Push template available from the MediaLive Console when you create a new channel. Channel and Input Details - Channel template - RTMP Push. One of the output groups in this template is for Facebook. You can delete the other output groups and use this as a template to create a new channel.

For al others, that find themselves on this post, after searching the rest of the internet why the Facebook Live stream will not start, I've found my answer:

After the idea of @fxeataws I started a new Channel with that Facebook template, but still no stream came live. Then I, for me randomly, changed the URL of the output to:
URL:
rtmps://live-api.facebook.com:443/rtmp/
Stream Name:
12345?s_bl=1&s_sc=12345&s_sw=0&s_vt=api-s

So, the Facebook Live "Streaming Key" is what you put in the Channel output "Stream name".

Hope this helps others with the same problem as me.
