There’s no stopping technology. While we are only getting used to the power of live video streaming from our phones, but Facebook is always one step ahead.
Facebook has just made 360-degree live video streaming easy – provided that you already have the equipment required to film 360 video.
360-degree live streaming works on Facebook’s existing live video platform. As with regular live video, you will be able to broadcast in 1080p and 30 fps for a maximum streaming time of 2 hours. You will need a more than decent data connection however. Facebook recommends a minimum of 4Mbps downlink to ensure a smooth 360 broadcast.
To go live in 360, we recommend you use devices such as the new 2017 Samsung Gear 360, or the Insta360 Nano (for iPhone) and Air360 (for Android).
Of course, these 360 cameras for your phone will also let you broadcast on Periscope, just not in 360 yet.
