Receive donations during Facebook Live

Facebook Live is still widely used for local communities, gaming, music and events. Alongside Facebook's own tools, an external donation link lets viewers support you by card in seconds, and every donation can appear on screen when you stream from OBS.

Facebook's tools and an external link

Facebook offers its own support tools depending on country and page, with their own conditions. An external donation link has no threshold and also works for fans who follow you elsewhere. Both can coexist; follow Facebook's rules on links.

Where to put your link

So it is seen during the live:

Show donations on screen

Stream your Facebook Live from OBS Studio with the stream key Facebook provides, then add DonoLink alerts as a browser source. Every donation triggers the alert, with the message and text-to-speech if enabled. Add a donation goal to show progress towards a project.
