How to Stream Microsoft Teams to Facebook Live

How to Stream Microsoft Teams to Facebook Live

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

Microsoft Teams is a great video meeting and productivity platform. The Redmond giant has been constantly adding new features to the table in order to improve the app’s capabilities. But many Teams users still feel that many essential features are missing, such as the option to stream Microsoft Teams to Facebook Live.

Can You Stream Microsoft Teams to Facebook Live?

Currently, Microsoft Teams does not support streaming live meetings to Facebook Live. This means you can’t stream your Teams video meetings to Facebook directly from the app. You need a third-party program to do that.

Many users said it would be a great idea to stream live Teams meetings to social media. After all, Zoom already supports this feature. But Microsoft probably doesn’t think users need this option on Teams. After all, if you want to reach a larger audience, you have Teams Live Events for that.

Nevertheless, if you want to promote your brand and products to a larger pool of potential customers, streaming to Facebook Live is an excellent idea. Facebook is one of the best platforms for advertising because people use it every day.

How to Live Stream Microsoft Teams on Facebook

While you can’t directly connect your Teams stream to Facebook Live, you can use OBS to stream your meetings to the world’s most popular social media network.

  1. First, you need to download OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) on your computer.
  2. Then, you need to set up the program. When you first launch OBS, you’ll only see a black screen.
  3. Then, under OBS Sources, add Microsoft Teams as the source for your stream. Select Window Capture if you’re running the desktop app. On the other hand, if you’re running the Web version of Teams, select Browser. Add a name for your capture.OBS start streaming teams meeting
  4. Select which window you want to capture. Hit OK to validate the window you want OBS to capture.OBS window capture microsoft teams
  5. If you want to only stream the meeting and hide the list of participants, you can manually adjust the capture window by dragging the red rectangle edges.
  6. To set up the stream, go to Tools and select the Auto-Configuration Wizard to complete the process faster.OBS optimize for streaming
  7. Optimize the settings for streaming. Select your resolution, FPS, and other settings.
  8. Then select the service you want to stream out to. In our case, this is Facebook.get OBS stream key for facebook live

By the way, you can also use a virtual camera in combination with OBS, such as StreamLabs Virtual Camera app.

Meanwhile, if you agree that Teams should get the social media streaming functionality, you can upvote the idea on the Microsoft Teams UserVoice website.

Conclusion

Microsoft Teams doesn’t currently support streaming live meetings to Facebook natively. But you can reach a larger audience and stream your Teams meetings to Facebook Live with the help of third-party programs such as OBS and StreamLabs Virtual Camera.
