You can connect two kinds of feeds from Facebook to Altar Live:
- Uploaded video (pre-recorded)
- Live video (simulated live or live)
Note: At the moment, Facebook Live adds around 15 seconds to every broadcast, regardless of streaming software. We recommend using YouTube or Vimeo if you'd like to avoid the delay.
