I FINALLY got it (with help of Waqas Ibrahim)!
I had to change the access token to extend expiration.
I forgot the fact that it needs hardware gfx card to stream, and i used a vps which it keeps saying can’t initialize video.
What a bummer, and i thought i can use one to live stream forever. Home connection is OK, but always DC, so it’s very annoying.
Edit: it actually works. need to use 2012 not 2008. But one thing strange is it immediately went into stream mode not sure why. so its eating up 99% of cpu. had to go in and lower everything down to bare minimum.
People have been saying contabo vps can stream.I checked their site and the VPS they offer uses intel Core i7 wich has intel graphics incorporated wich might be the reason why you can stream off of their VPS.Give that a try.
A little edit on the site,a new feature wich adds just a blank counter ,the rest you can add yourself using OBS,making it very customizable.

@florin22xxl thank you for a great post, many people were looking for this as it’s something new.
One thing though, please next time don’t copy-paste all the text and images from somewhere else as that source might come back and complain and I’ll have to delete the post if that happens. And we’ll loose a lot of good replies.
If you have the time(next time ) just re-write it in your own words ( that would be perfect) , if not simply add the link and people will go there and read about it.

I did that topic from work,i didin’t had acces to my PC to make a proper topic.I did give credit at the end of the topic,the original topic was free so i think giving credit should be ok.
I do agree with what you said.

cool, thanks 
it might be ok, true, but some people might not like it so it’s better to be safe.
After having wrestled with amazon vps, i finally switched to my home vps which was running the MP.
Firstly, amazon vps works, but for whatever bizzare reason, OBS decide to go full CPU god mode and eat up all the tiny tiny 1vcpu shared core.
I didn’t wanna push it with a paid VPS until i find this to be worth the ROI. Surprisingly, it doesn’t actually eat up resources if it is run on a local machine. Most likely to do with VPS sharing resources hence the overhead is there. Not even using hardware decoding. And with 480p the CPU is at 20% with average bitrate.
I was thinking of using azure and g cloud, but i’ve had issues with them terminating the vps due to high load. Furthermore i think i over subscribed to their free trial so they kinda know. Lol.
Is possible to put looping gifs in the background (instead of a photo)?
Yes you can,i just tried.You will have to add it in OBS
Add scene-Add Source -Add media - browse for the GIF and set LOOP option so it automaticaly loops for ever.
done.

Awesome! Gonna try it…thank you!
I’m long overdue for adding this to my strategy. I was looking into how to implement this, and I discovered this service on livereactionpoll.com: https://www.gouplive.com/en_US
I played around with the free version and it seems very simple to use. I’m seriously considering grabbing the business plan, just wondering if anyone else here has used them?
So I bought about $100 worth of minutes in gouplive and have been playing with it all day. I’ve gotten an unbelievable amount of engagement and a few sales as well.
However, I just discovered that Live Polls are against the Facebook TOS, and I have my GoUpLive account tied to my real account so I’m probably going to exercise caution from here on out.
It’s too bad. This is a really easy way to get a ton of traffic.
Here’s where you can find out more about facebooks rules on these videos: https://en.facebookbrand.com/assets/reactions
It has and always been like that since a long time ago. Smaller non branded acc run the risk of losing it, but bigger branded accs have been doing it “because they can”. They know fb wont simply shut them down, and they can also get it back easily with money.
But man, 100$. Just streaming it from your home PC would be enough IMO. And you can do that 24x7
Yea, I hear ya on the $100. I don’t really mind too much, it’s pretty good software that makes it easy for me to run multiple streams at once and test on the fly. I’m going to set up OBS too, but I enjoy having both options at my fingertips.
I also just realized that it’s easy to use gouplive on any of my fake facebook accounts, so I don’t have to change anything to run it through them instead of my real account, which is good.
There is big money in this, I can feel it. Yesterday I got millions of views easily, by just creating live polls and sharing them in groups.
I haven’t had any pages unpublished yet, but i’m sure I will in the future. It doesn’t matter though, because you can make money off the posts and just throw out the page if/when it gets unpublished. Have you guys known anyone personally who has had pages unpublished using this strategy? Do you lose all pages in your account, or do you just lose publishing on one page?
hah, so i just had my first page unpublished because of this strategy. I created a new page under a fresh unused aged account from 2013. The poll ran for about 30 minutes and at its peak it hit about 200 live viewers. I had gotten about 150 likes to my page in that short time, but was unpublished and my account was blocked by the new “send in a picture” checkpoint.
Yep, Crush the small ones and keep the big ones doing whatever they want.
BIg pages still doing vote by reactions live videos, to hell with it, even 9gag does it, that can’t go unnoticed. But you can’t unpublish 9gag…
Do I need a fast internet? I tried it some months before and its just lagging for everyone.
yes, streaming video usually needs decent internet
Is it possible to do live polls with a linux server?
If the program supports linux its not a problem. If you’re thinking of using openvz to do it, check this out https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/24994/plex-media-server-on-openvz
