The Connections area in your Profile lets you link your Facebook account to LIGR Live so you can send live streams directly to Facebook Live as a Destination.
What Facebook Connections Do
Connecting your Facebook account allows LIGR Live to stream your matches to a Facebook Page or profile you manage, without having to manually copy RTMP keys each time you create a match.
Once connected, Facebook Live becomes available as a Destination when configuring a Stream for a Match.
Before You Start
Before connecting Facebook Live, make sure:
• You have Owner or Admin permissions on your LIGR Live organisation
• You have login access to the Facebook account you want to connect
• You have the appropriate admin rights on any Facebook Page you intend to stream to

Using Facebook Live as a Destination
After your Facebook account is connected, you can send a Stream to Facebook Live from any Match.
1. Open the Match you want to stream from the Matches tab.
2. Go to the Stream settings for that Match.
3. Add a new Destination.
4. Choose Facebook Live from the list of available destinations.
5. Select the Facebook Page or profile you want to stream to.
6. Save the Destination and start your Stream when ready.

Disconnecting Facebook
If you no longer want LIGR Live to access your Facebook account:
1. Go to Profile & Account > Connections.
2. Find the Facebook connection.
3. Click Disconnect.
Disconnecting will remove Facebook Live as an available Destination for future Matches. Any active Streams already configured to Facebook may stop delivering to that Destination.
Tips
• Only connect a Facebook account that has admin access to the Pages you plan to stream to — otherwise those Pages will not appear as options.
• Reconnect your Facebook account periodically if you notice Destinations failing, as Facebook access tokens can expire.
• Test the connection with a short private Stream before your first live Match to confirm everything works.
Common Issues
• Facebook Page not showing as a Destination: Confirm you are an admin of that Page and that you approved all requested permissions during the connection flow. Disconnect and reconnect if the Page is still missing.
• Stream fails to start on Facebook Live: Check that your Facebook connection is still active under Connections. If it shows as expired, disconnect and reconnect the account.
• Pop-up blocked during connection: Allow pop-ups for LIGR Live in your browser and try again.
• Wrong Facebook account connected: Disconnect from Connections, log out of Facebook in your browser, then reconnect using the correct account.
