When you hit "Go Live" on Facebook, it takes you to the LiveStream page, where you can find the stream key under "Settings" (in the Advanced Settings section, you can make the Stream Key permanent as well between sessions (it isn't by default)).

Other things to note:

  • When you start the stream in OBS or VirtualDJ, etc, that does not automatically start streaming to Facebook
    You have to go back to the FaceBook LiveStream page and click "Go Live" again to allow the stream to go to your page
  • FaceBook algorithms are actively monitoring stream content for copyrighted content
    They actively notify you of this and restrict access to your video/even switch it off if such is found in your stream. You'll have to hit "Resume" and even then your video isn't publicly available. It's honestly not worth it for general content DJ mixes IMO but you're free to come to your own conclusion


I'll leave the firewall config suggestions to the Windows users of this forum.
