Can You Insert a Powerpoint in Live Facebook Feed

Showing your presentation is an important part of webinars. There are a few ways to do this. Here's how to show slides on Facebook Live through Live Producer and BeLive.

How to Show Your Slides on Facebook Live

The first way is to go live on Facebook using Facebook Live only. The second way is to go live on Facebook using BeLive and use all the BeLive Studio features.

Both systems have the facility to schedule your broadcast up to seven days in advance.

Facebook's Live Producer allows you to share your screen, so you'll be able to show your presentation. However, you either have to share your screen or appear on the video. You can't do both at the same time.

Here's how to share your slides using Live Producer:

Step 1: On your Facebook Page, press the Live button on the left under Create Post. The screen switches to the Live Producer.

Step 2: On the Live Producer page, add a title and description for your broadcast.

Step 3: Open a new tab and select the Google slides you will share in the broadcast and then return to Live Producer.

On the right of the screen, select Use Camera select Start Screen Share of your entire screen. The screen you chose to share appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. When you go live the screen share will fill the screen.

Step 4: Press the Go Live button. After the countdown, the broadcast will go live on Facebook.

Step 5: You can now switch to the Google slide tab, which you are screen sharing. Press View in the menu and select Present. Step through the slides one by one and talk about them.

Step 6: At the end of your presentation, return to the Live Producer tab and Stop the Broadcast. You can use the same procedure to go live on your profile or in a Facebook group.

Here's a step-by-step guide in this video:
