Learn how to allow Videolinq publish live streams on your behalf to a Facebook group.

Updated over 3 years ago

Facebook made recently changes to its privacy policy and restricts now the publication of live streams to a Facebook group.

When you select Facebook as a destination for a Videolinq live stream, you are prompt with the option to "Login to Facebook" or "Connect Manually". Manual connection is not affected by the recent changes.

When using the "Login to Facebook" option, it is not enough to allow Videolinq access a Facebook profile on first login. You must add the Videolinq App to your group.

Only group admins can add or remove an app in a group.

To add an app to your group:

  1. From your News Feed, click Groups in the left menu and select your group. If you don't see Groups, click See More.

  2. Click Settings in the left menu.

  3. Scroll down and click

    next to Apps, then click Add Apps.

  4. Search for the "Videolinq" App and click Add.

To remove an app from your group:

  1. From your News Feed, click Groups in the left menu and select your group. If you don't see Groups, click See More.

  2. Click Settings in the left menu.

  3. Scroll down and click

    next to Apps.

  4. Click Remove next to the app you'd like to remove.

Keep in mind that when you add an app to your group, the apps can see posts and comments in the group. They can't see the author of posts and comments unless they've been given access.
