I've gone through all the steps to set up live stream on facebook, including copying the URL and streaming key into OBS. When I click "start streaming", the little FB inset window mirrors what I'm streaming through OBS. When I click "stop streaming" I get an error text on the little screen inset which says "Sorry, we're having trouble playing this video". Has anyone else encountered this issue?

@leeskeys - note also that in FB /live/producer that the preview window (for me) sometimes stops working, but the stream is fine. Refreshing the browser window restarts the FB stream monitoring window. Also, note
- difference with Scheduling a live broadcast (most important is ability non FB users to watch live video & see comments; and ability to embed video elsewhere)
- that if you scroll the FB /live/producer window towards the top you'll get a larger monitor window, and other stream links/options, like stream health
BE sure to RTFM with Scheduled broadcast, especially the requirement (clearly stated on web page when you schedule) to connect stream more than 10 minutes in advance
