Hi!

We use vMix for streaming to YT and FB in the same time. We have shows longer than four hours. For such long shows, FB doens't support to keep and post the recording after the show ends. There is another option, to broadcast for as long as you want, but then the recording doesn't stay and this in NOT an option for us. So, after the 4 hours the fb stream gets disconnected but the yt stream is still live. To get back on FB we have to disconnect the YT stream, and get back with both streams again.

How can we overcome this problem so that we do not need to disconnet Yt to get back on FB after 4 hours of broadcasting?

Thanks!

Alex M.

Possibility:

Set up second system with vMix. Nominally powered laptop would work, since all you need is to pick up a single input and send it out.

Start NDI on main system, pull up Program window on second system in vMix and set to stream to FB.

When you're coming up on your 4 hour point, hopefully you have a break in the action that's quiet. Stop streaming, end the FB link, set back up to stream to FB creating a new stream and start again. About a 1 minute break of the video stream should be easily achievable.

Basically, the second system is almost completely hands off, short ensuring the NDI feed has good audio, and the attention to stop, then start again.

Small extra footprint issue to overcome the imposed by FB limitation.
