๐ก Tips for Better Results
Go live for at least 20 minutes โ Facebook's algorithm starts pushing Live videos to more feeds after the 10-minute mark, so short broadcasts miss the algorithmic boost. Pin a comment with your CTA link immediately after going live so every new viewer sees it first. Repurpose your best 60-second moments into Reels within 24 hours to capture audiences who missed the live event.
