# Unknown Error On The Facebook

{% hint style="danger" %}
An unknown error occurred on the Facebook platform. Please try again later.
{% endhint %}

This guide explains the cause of the current error that occurred during your live streaming.

​

***

To stream to Facebook, the PRISM app relies on features provided by Facebook. These features are called Facebook Open APIs, and they are used by third-party apps like PRISM.​

If these Facebook Open APIs are not functioning properly, the PRISM app will also be unable to stream to Facebook correctly.​

The current error is occurring because Facebook’s Open API is not working as expected. However, this may be a temporary issue, so we recommend trying to start the live stream again after a short while or some time has passed.
