Since Facebook has tied our hands somewhat with "easy" on demand streaming being limited to FB only, has anyone found a way to embed the most recent or current active Facebook live video on a website? Everything I'm finding is for after the event is over using the specific embed code aka getting the embed code on a per-event basis, but I'm looking for what YouTube used to have where you could basically show your latest video and if you were "live" the "live" signal was the latest one.

I like Facebook as a medium to get the word out, but I'd really like to have a "on-air"/"live show" view on my site as well.

Yeah that's the example i had seen which really only works after the fact, from what i can tell there's not even really an api call to programmatically get the latest videoid. there's only a call to get a videoid from a playlist, which can only have pre-recorded or post-live videos added to it.

Hi

What about something like this.

For those following this I did a little more digging and I did find something in the Facebook API licensing but I'm not sure it will help because I don't think it's feasible for vmix to work it in. Facebook licensing of the api DOES allow you to broadcast to Facebook AND 1st party streaming sites simultaneously. What this means is that if I ran my own streaming server, such as unreal media server (which i do happen to own), then I would be within the Facebook licensing rights to simulcast to both Facebook and my own server.

Now here's the rub, vmix would have to allow me to setup two broadcast encoders, one to Facebook and on to a "other" destination. That would let me do whats described above, but I think it would open the door for abuse so I wouldn't blame vmix if they didn't allow it, because as we all know give an inch and we'll take a mile. Most other streaming sites will let you manually configure your streaming server settings to their configuration. So if vmix allowed this i can see abuse where someone configured say YouTube under the "other" server settings and thus broke the licensing agreement. The only way around that would be for vmix to put a filter on the server text box when "other" is selected but that's more work, so like i said i don't blame them not doing it.

I just wish either facebook or vmix would make things a little easier for us to integrate live video feeds into our website, social media is fine but my thought is your website should still be the primary focus for your visitors. Anyone who sank a ton of time and energy into MySpace can tell you social media platforms come and go.
