Facebook Premiere lets you schedule and debut videos as Live moments. After the broadcast, the video will be saved on your Page.
Note: Larger file sizes are more likely to fail during the upload process. Consider choosing a more compressed file format if your upload is greater than 6 GB.
All videos that are new to Facebook are eligible for Premieres, with the following exceptions:
Once your Premiere is scheduled we do not recommend editing the file. If you need to swap in an updated or fixed video we recommend doing so at least one hour in advance.
Once your Facebook Premiere is scheduled a Scheduled Live post is automatically posted on your Page. Viewers are able to Like, Share and comment.
Viewers will be able to click a button to subscribe to notifications on your Premiere. Subscribers receive their first notification 20 minutes before your Premiere begins.
Three minutes before your Premiere begins, subscribers are again notified that they can join the broadcast lobby. In the Facebook Premiere lobby, they can Like, Share and comment live before the Premiere begins.
During the Premiere your video is broadcasted live with a Premiere badge.
Viewers are able to Like, Share and comment in real time.
Unlike a normal Live broadcast, a Page administrator doesn’t have to be present during a Premiere broadcast.
Premieres is meant to enhance your video’s debut moment, but after the broadcast ends your video functions like any other video Post on your Page.
When your Premiere ends the video being premiered is automatically converted to a video Post on your Page. All of the Likes, Shares and comments the video gained during the broadcast are saved onto that post.
New viewers can see all of the Premieres’ Likes, Shares or comments and add their own at any time.
