Sorry - what is Start Direct?
I've been livestreaming to Facebook weekly for last 6+ months. And I have no idea what you are talking about.....
I log into FB live producer, schedule live stream (not required, but allows non FB users to watch). At day of stream, I connect to FB Live/Producer/, copy my non persistent stream key into OBS. And start streaming from OBS (whether Scheduled or not wouldn't make any difference then at this point). Within FB Live Producer I monitor stream (but I don't click on anything in FB to start live video stream as its scheduled. My other option would be GO Live now... but again, actual start of stream would happen by hitting "Start Streaming" within OBS

Maybe the 'start direct' is a translation thing?

Now, you could use the much lower security route and use a Persistent Stream Key (probably a stupid thing to do... ) and just hit Start Streaming in OBS when desired... but if you aren't monitoring your own stream... is there a reason for anyone else watch either?
