Best of NAB 2018: All About Facebook Live
April 30, 2018 by
Facebook played a big role at the 2018 NAB Show, manning an entire pavilion and dominating many discussions around OTT (over-the-top) broadcasting. At Wowza, we know a thing or two about streaming to Facebook Live, thanks to our ongoing work in collaboration with Facebook on the Wowza ClearCaster™ appliance, which delivers the highest-quality broadcasts possible to Facebook Live.
This year, the Wowza booth was home to many interesting discussions about how professional broadcasters today are using Facebook Live. Check out these Wowza Studio Sessions, with hosts from Wowza as well as Rob Baynard and Aubrey Russell from Live X, who co-host the show “Ready Take Live.” We’ll dive into use cases and hot topics around Facebook Live streaming from our production studio at NAB 2018.
