There have been several reports from users that some of their Facebook pages do not appear inside the Switcher app when attempting to broadcast to Facebook or when adding a Facebook page as a Multistreaming destination. We have been able to reproduce this issue internally and it appears to be a Facebook Graph API bug that was introduced late Friday 2023-05-05. The issue had already been reported to Facebook by other developers, as this bug affects multiple applications, not just Switcher. If you have a Facebook developer account, you can follow the progress of the bug report here: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/780004130341035 A temporary workaround is to use Custom RTMP when streaming to your Facebook page. Here is a quick video tutorial on how to stream to Facebook using Custom RTMP: https://youtu.be/JTTcm9PtV48 Here is a Help Center article on how to stream to Facebook using Custom RTMP: https://support.switcherstudio.com/article/365-streaming-to-facebook-using-custom-rtmp We will post an update to the status page as soon as we have more information.
