Facebook live works well if you want to broadcast a meeting, webinar, or event to a lot of people, giving them an opportunity to interact in the comments. If you're looking for something more internal or don't want the information to be public, don't use Facebook live. It's great for broadcasts!

It is easy to use, quite intuitive. I miss some documentation for the configuration, especially the access security.

Facebook Live is similar to StreamYard, although it serves a slightly different purpose. We like using both together. StreamYard can allow you to bring multiple people into the Facebook live stream, although offers some new glitches as well. Facebook live is smoother and works better for our advertisement / informational broadcasts.
