Learn how to manually connect to an existing Facebook event via custom RTMP with StreamWay.

StreamWay Events is a quick and easy way to schedule a stream on Facebook and other platforms simultaneously, but if you’ve already scheduled an event on Facebook, you will need to follow these steps to connect it to StreamWay.
​

Please note that all API-dependent features such as StreamWay Chat, Analytics, Events, Titles page, etc. won’t work if you connect Facebook manually to StreamWay.
