Be the star of your own Facebook Live Video!

This video demo was created on an iPhone. You may also go live on Android - though screens and menus may be different, the Facebook instructions are the same.

1. Get on your smart phone and go to your page and to the right of “create a post,” you would select "Live."

2. Your phone view will show up on your screen. At the top of the screen you can see the camera icon where you can change your view, or add a little light. Your viewers will not watch if it’s hard to see.

3. You'll see the “tap to add description” just below the focal point on your screen. This is where you can add your business name, and address if you're giving a tour, or other information to help the viewer find or contact you.

4. The cute icon and emoji enhancements below can be fun for friends but they are not considered professional so take care here to consider your brand and message before you include them.

5. You're ready! Click the "start live video" button at the bottom of your screen - it will go dim for a second and then you are live.

6. When your short, steady video is done, click "Finish." The next screen allows you to post (share) or save it. Luckily, if you are not happy with it, there is a nice delete button too. That's it.
