I've noticed that if I select "only me" for the stream's Privacy setting, it is not applied for Pages. Instead it becomes Public. Likewise "Friends" on my own timeline becomes "Private". But "Private" for my own timeline becomes Private.

I think this is very critical, in particular for us when we test before going live for real. We don't want the tests to be visibile...

Tested with 17.0.0.111 and 18.0.0.50

I also have this experience. My work-around is to change the privacy to Public and re-share the post. It's messy but it's fine.

I am bumping this thread again, our church is getting more serious about using facebook to stream but the security setting in vmix does not make it to facebook. I am getting "only me" on facebook, even when I choose public. Is this a known bug or is it something I am doing wrong?

Facebook can be a bit confusing when it comes to privacy settings as there is an app level privacy setting also which will override
any settings you select in vMix.

See the guide below on how to change this:

if we have 20mbps upload

can we max it to 10mbps upload to facebook. do facebook allow it?

Recommended settings for FB are
720p
4 Mbps

Unless someone can tell me I am wrong, I still consider this to be a bug (19.0.0.53). Actually a rather severe issue as it is typically important for our customers to do a private live test on their page in due time before the real thing. (We know it is possible to test stream to a Live event in Facebook using Custom RTMP, but sometimes using the vMix API is better/required).

Thanks.

Thanks Martin,
I'll try to reach out to one of our connections at Facebook Sweden and see if they have something to say on the subject.

Meanwhile, I suggest you change to current dropdown choice to just inform about the effective privacy (which I guess is what is set for the vMix Facebook App settings, if you can poll that info)

Some slightly off topic additional comments.

Please, on the settings page clarify that "Title" is for the on demand video published afterwards, and that "Description" is for the Facebook post AND the on demand video. Maybe implemented as mouse-over info pop-ups, or some kind of text. (Took me a while before I figured out the use of these two fields).

"Stay logged in" is somewhat unclear. It seems that if you stay logged in for Stream [1], you still have to log in for Stream [2]. And if the streaming profile is deleted, one is logged out.

"Sign up" to Facebook is something I guess is required by Facebook to use their API. Otherwise I really don't see the need. In particular if one is already logged in. This item would benefint from some clarification too. As well as perhaps somewhat adjusted size/position on the settings page.
