Facebook just\u00a0made live streaming 360-degree video<\/a> relatively easy, provided you have the equipment to capture the content. Users of devices like the new 2017 model Gear 360 just announced at the S8 smartphone launch, or the Insta360 Nano (for iPhone) and Air (for Android), or a host of higher-end models designed for pros, you can go live and broadcast an immersive feed for your audience.<\/p>\n

The feature works using Facebook\u2019s livestreaming video tech, providing 1080p, 30fps playback and a maximum streaming time of four hours, which should be plenty for whatever you\u2019re planing to immersively immerse your immersion hungry audience within. You\u2019ll need a decent\u00a0connection to make for a smooth broadcast, as Facebook recommends 4 Mbps down to ensure quality, and you can use either a camera\u2019s dedicated app to go live, or navigate to facebook.com\/live\/create<\/a>\u00a0to use with cameras not already set up specifically to stream using Facebook\u2019s new tool.<\/p>\n
