I've only be able to get a 1080p broadcast to work once even though I am sending the 1080p preset for FB. It automatically downgrades it to 720p. Is there some setting in FB that I need to adjust? Thanks. Brian

Brian Hi Brian - having made the same mistake, I know the answer to this one! :) Facebook will not allow you to stream at 1080 unless you are part of the Level Up Programme - further info here - https://www.facebook.com...77882?id=648321075955172

Then just click Stream. Or are you talking about using a custom RTMP Server method? I tried using the Custom RTMP method as well, same result. Facebook sees I'm sending 1080, but resolution is capped at 720. I see messages in the Event Log about that.

Yes, Use the vMix Facebook destination option where you login to facebook from vMix and specify Quality at 1920 x 1080 6mbps. Also, Make sure your input sources, master output size / frame rate, and external output 1 is set to 1920x1080 / ntsc 29.97p and double check you are using the latest vmix version(23) It's possible that facebook is blocking 1080 streaming in you area.

I have qualified for 4 of the 6 requirements so we'll see if I can get all 6 and can up my stream rate to 1080p. Facebook did say they recommend I use 30fps rather than 29.97, so I changed that.
