Hi,
Due to how Facebook applies its security logic we’re unable to connect to Facebook outside of the Engine Manager at this moment. We do know customers would like a different method but for now this is the only one available.
Regards,

Will there be an option through the Wowza Streaming App, to additionally send the stream_type=“AMBIENT” option when configuring the Facebook Live stream target? I’ve tried hand-editing the PushPublishMap.txt of the application to add "facebook.streamType:“ambient”, with no success. It is very time consuming to go back and delete videos on Facebook Accounts. With passing stream_type=“AMBIENT” through the Facebook API, the simulcasts from Wowza to Facebook Accounts will automatically expire, instead of them being publicly accessible. This is crucial when Facebook Live is being used to solicit viewers to view a broadcast at the source.
