Facebook certainly seems to be LIVE-ning it up at the recently. In our last blog we wrote about how to make the best of the current situation in terms of social media content and mentioned that video was a sure-fire way of maintaining engagement. So much so, that in recent weeks usage of Facebook Live and Messenger Video has spiked 50-70% and as such Facebook has just announced a whole range of improvements to how Pages can monitor and moderate their live streams.

 Introducing Facebook Live Producer – a really nifty dashboard that allows you to manage all aspects of your Live broadcasts if you’re using higher end production equipment. You can do everything from scheduling your broadcasts, moderate questions and implement interactive features like polls, all the way through to critical aspects like Stream Strength and Source Details - all the while monitoring your stream small window at the bottom left of the screen. Really useful if your live demo needs constant interaction that has to be carried out remotely in these challenging times. And the great news is, Facebook says there is more features to be added soon, so watch this space.
