Webcaster X1 for Facebook Live user guide
Set stream targeting
Before streaming to a Facebook Page with Webcaster X1, you can choose to set audience targeting criteria for your post. It's easy!
What is targeting?
- When you broadcast to Facebook Live, Facebook helps you generate an audience. When your publish destination is a Facebook Page, you can target specific kinds of viewers.
- For example, you can target the gender or age of viewers who will be most interested in your live stream.
- Webcaster X1 lets you configure targeting for your broadcast and sends this targeting request to Facebook.
- Note: Targeting is only supported for Pages.
To configure targeting for your live stream you need:
- Your Webcaster X1 for Facebook Live
- An HDMI display (that supports 1080p video) connected to your Webcaster X1
- A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X1 (must be connected before boot-up)
