Your social media accounts are defined as your Destinations on Talk Studio. Major platforms supported. (eg. YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Twitter, Linkedin) Below are guidelines to follow per social media account.

Destination Setup

1. To locate your Destinations page, click your Account icon and click Settings.

2.  From your Destinations page, click Add Destination to connect your social media accounts.

(*Pro Tip: If you own multiple accounts per domain and/or email address, please log out of the account domain first (eg. Facebook.com, YouTube.com, Twitch.com, etc.) then press Add Destination, so that you are prompted to log in the appropriate account.) 

Facebook Setup

When adding Facebook, there will be specific requirements you will need to install or grant permission to. 

Your Personal Profile - For any Group or Page you own or manage, your profile will always be marked as an 'admin'. It is preferred that you add your profile first since you will need to grant permission to allow Talk Studio to access your Facebook account.

1. You will receive a few prompts on-screen after selecting Add Destination > Facebook Profile. Please continue through each accordingly.

2. When you are asked to "Choose what you allow", please click on the link provided.

3. Grant permission to manage content for any Group or Page you own under your personal profile.

(*Pro Tip: To edit your profile permissions or privacy settings, please visit your Facebook Business Integrations page.) 

Your Facebook Group - There are two (2) steps to complete when adding a Facebook Group to your Destinations page. 

1. Please ensure your FB profile is marked as an 'admin' after visiting your Group's homepage and Members section. If your profile is not displayed, your group may be registered under a different email address. Please contact the owner to send you an invite to the group in order to mark your profile as an admin.

2. From your Destinations page, click Add Destination > Facebook Group. 

3. You will need to install the dedicated 'Talk Studio (Streaming)' app after visiting your FB Group Settings > Apps page and then typing in 'talk studio' in the search box provided. 

Your Facebook Page - Your page will not require an app download but will require that your FB profile has Page Access. To check, please visit your Page and then locate & click Settings > New Pages Experience > Page Access. You will see your personal profile listed under People with Facebook access. 

YouTube Channel Setup

YouTube has two (2) verification steps per channel you must complete before choosing to record or live stream on Talk Studio. If you just created your YouTube account or channel, please visit the link below to verify your channel through SMS/text messaging. (approximately 24 hours to verify)

Once verified, please then visit your YouTube Studio. At the top right of your screen, locate and click Create > Go-live > Right now > Built-in webcam. *This step is very important to complete so that YouTube can verify your account is not spam.

When setting up your test stream, please mark it as "Unlisted" so that your verification stream does not end up in your public channel's search results. After 24 hours from the time that you went live has elapsed, you will be able to go live to your YouTube channel from your Talk Studio anytime afterward.

Custom RTMP Setup

Also known as a Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), RTMP settings will allow you to connect to any other social media platform that Talk Studio does not natively support such as Instagram or Rumble. Simply enter the Ingest Server URL and Stream key that would be provided on your settings page on the third-party platform.

1. From your Destinations page, click Add Destination > Add Custom RTMP.
