Here are some additional tips for going live on Facebook from your desktop:

• Make sure you have a good internet connection. A slow internet connection can cause your live stream to lag or buffer.
• Choose a well-lit location. This will help your viewers see you clearly.
• Use a headset or microphone to improve your audio quality.
• Test your camera and microphone before you go live to make sure they are working properly.
• Have a plan for your live video. What do you want to talk about? What do you want to show your viewers?
• Be yourself and have fun!
