Videos are one of the most effective ways through which businesses can influence their customers and increase sales. Digital entrepreneurs are taking advantage of videos to attract and target customers more efficiently. One of the most powerful social media platforms is Facebook and if businesses want a piece of the pie then they need to post videos on the social networking site.

There are different types of ways through which videos can be posted on Facebook. The hottest is Live Stream as it ensures that the video gets the most views. People love to watch live videos. Therefore, businesses should post live videos. However, it isn’t as easy as one might think to post live videos.

For starters, it isn’t possible to always be able to live stream as there might be time and cost issues at play as well as the editing of the video. An alternative to the problem is Live Stream Prerecorded Videos to Facebook page which a business could do. But, the problem is that entrepreneurs might not know how to do so. It is due to this reason that one should give OBS a try. Before using the feature, there are some things which you need to know.

• Only download the latest version of OBS.
• Experiment with output resolution before live streaming the pre-recorded video to Facebook Live. As a rule of thumb, the longer the video, the more chances for it to be of bad quality.
• Normally, 1280 x 720 resolutions should be good but you can try lower at 960 x 540 on OBS.
• The performance of streaming changes from laptop to laptop. The output performance differs from machine to machine. The lower the output resolution, the better the performance.
