How can I publish my videos to my Facebook page?
You can publish each of your uploaded videos to your Facebook Page by selecting "Publish on Facebook Page" inside the "Settings" page of an uploaded video. Please watch the video below to see where this feature is located in your Media Cloud account.
If this is your first time, you will have to connect your Facebook Page with your Lightcast Media Cloud account first. Once you click "Publish on Facebook page", a pop-up window appears (please disable pop-up blocker) which requires you to login to your Facebook account which administrates your Organization's Facebook Page. If you are already logged in to your Facebook account, you just have to click "Okay" in the bottom right corner within the pop-up window. Once you are logged in to your Facebook account or clicked "Okay", Facebook will ask you a few questions in regards to publishing preferences. Once done, you will see a drop down underneath "Publish on Facebook page" which shows all connected Facebook Pages. Please choose a Facebook Page and click on "Update" at the very bottom of the page to send the video to your Faceboo page. When you click the "Update" button, the "Publish on Facebook" changes into following message: "Facebook publishing in progress". It may take a few minutes until your video is published to Facebook.
Please note that Facebook has a 1.75 GB file size limit and the video must be under 45 minutes. If your uploaded file-size is below 1.75 GB but the video duration is longer than 45 minutes, you won't be able to publish the video to Facebook. If your video duration is below 45 minutes but your file exceeds 1.75 GB, Lightcast will automatically use a lower video quality under 1.75 GB to publish your video to Facebook.
