# Discontinuation of Streaming Feature Support for Facebook groups

Due to the policy changes in Facebook’s API, all apps of PRISM Live Studio will no longer support streaming to Facebook as of April 24, 2024.

***

[**Introducing Facebook Graph API v19.0 and Marketing API v19.0**](https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/01/23/introducing-facebook-graph-and-marketing-api-v19/)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Deprecating Facebook Groups API**\
\&#xNAN;**(January 24, 2024)**

**The Facebook Groups API is deprecated in v19 and in 90 days will be removed from all versions**. This deprecation includes all Permissions (publish\_to\_groups, groups\_access\_member\_info) and Reviewable Features (Groups API) associated with the Facebook Groups API.
{% endhint %}

If your previous versions of PRISM apps fail to adapt to these changes in external platform APIs, consider re-integrating Facebook within PRISM apps if streaming to timelines and pages, rather than groups, poses issues.

However, this change does not mean streaming to Facebook groups entirely impossible within the PRISM app. Facebook group streaming through the PRISM app remains feasible through the following steps:

1. Access the Facebook website.
2. Navigate to the target group for streaming within the Facebook website.
3. Initiate \[Create Post].
4. Click on the More button and select \[Live Video].
5. Navigate to the \[Create live video] menu.
6. Click on the \[Go Live] button.
7. Select \[Streaming Software] as the video source.
8. Copy the \[Stream Key] and configure it in PRISM app’s Custom RTMP settings.
9. PRISM app provides Facebook’s \[Server URL] as a preset.
10. Save the Custom RTMP settings and select the streaming destination platform.
11. Click the \[Go Live] button on the live preparation screen to start streaming.
12. Confirm the streaming preview in the Facebook \[Create live video] menu.
13. Click the \[Go live] button at the bottom left to publish the live broadcast.

Hope this helps you.
