Hosts can stream from Webex Meetings, Webex Webinars, or Webex Events (classic) on Workplace from Facebook, without downloading or installing any plug-ins. Streaming allows hosts to connect with large audiences on social media by easily sharing their video and content using the Webex controls.

Beginning with the 41.7 update, hosts who are streaming meetings to Workplace from Facebook can interact with live stream viewers using the Workplace streaming comment feed that appears in the Multimedia Viewer. However, hosts, attendees, and viewers may experience the following issues:
-
Cohosts and attendees participating in the meeting can't see the comment feed in the Multimedia Viewer. This is currently a host-only feature.
-
If during a meeting the host starts live streaming to Workplace from Facebook while using the Multimedia Viewer, the comment feed replaces the multimedia being shared.
If you're using a Mac and have Google Chrome set as your default browser, the Workplace from Facebook home page loads instead of the New Broadcast page. Set your default browser to Safari to load the page correctly.
