I searched but couldn't find anything specific...

How/can I get Facebook GROUP comments in Social? A browser-based option (StreamYard) and some other software have the ability (Streamyard shows comments without usernames unless user grant's browser permission then the name appears).

Agreed, and while I find in the threads that this question has been asked of vmix several times, it doesn't ever seem to warrant an answer, yet it's obvious that the best place to encourage commenting in live streams is within the group setting.

This feature really needs to be implemented into this software, I'm curious why it hasn't been already.

Hi,

vMix Social only has access to comments on public facebook pages due to privacy polices enforced by Facebook.

https://www.vmix.com/kno...ial-facebook-limitations

The other app mentioned above attempts to work around this privacy restriction for groups through an additional app all commenters
have to install which I strongly suspect is against the Facebook policy and may be in risk of being blocked.

Regards,

Hi Martin, Tim, .....

Does FB still have this privacy limitation re comments & groups?

If so do you foresee any change to this policy?

Thanks
