Streamlabs OBS is now easier on Facebook.

Facebook livestreaming gets easier with Streamlabs OBS support

Facebook will make game livestreaming easier with its integration of Streamlabs OBS livestreaming software, which enables users to stream their favorite games through Facebook.

Streaming video games using other broadcasting software can be a pretty intimidating and technical experience, especially for new streamers. The goal of the integration is to make the streaming experience on Streamlabs OBS as smooth and seamless as possible. That way, streamers can turn their passion into a business, and a full Facebook Gaming integration is a crucial step in helping more creators earn a living from livestreaming. It already works on platforms like Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube.
