Hi,

How to Stream Live Video to my Facebook Page using wowza or additional plugin.

Is it possible?

Hello,

Streaming to Facebook using Wowza is definitely possible, however, the configuration is not specific to Wowza.

You will need to configure the web page where your embedded media player is located with specific metadata that Facebook will consume and use to render a media player in the news feed and when submitted as a page post. Wowza will simply deliver media streams to the client using the URL’s that are called from the player when rendered in a Facebook page - no plugin is required. There may also be player-specific parameters that support Facebook integration.

As a reference, take a look at this external post from Longtail Video (makers of JW Player) where the process is described: Publish Your Videos to Facebook with a JW Player
