• Facebook will only allow you to schedule up to 10 destinations per scheduled stream. 
• LinkedIn will only allow you to stream a maximum of 10 times within a 24-hour window.
• If the date & time of your scheduled stream has already passed, you will not be able to start your scheduled stream. Please delete the scheduled stream and create a new one.

• Shareable links to promote your scheduled stream per social media.  

Some destinations will not create a link you can share in advance:

• Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn will create an event link.
• Twitter and Twitch will not create an event link since they are both channel-based. Please make note that your scheduled stream has been set up properly for these channels.
