With Givebutter's ability to embed a video, you can easily add Facebook videos and Facebook live videos to any Givebutter Page or Event campaign. Givebutter can use any public video post by a Page or a person as a video or live video source.

To start, navigate to the "Details" tab of your campaign in the Dashboard and scroll down to find the Cover Photo section. Next, select Embed Video and Facebook as the video platform.

Embedding using Facebook Premiere

Facebook Premiere is a popular option for organizations with entirely pre-recorded videos.

Facebook Premiere allows users to schedule and debut videos as Live moments. A Premiere gives the illusion of a broadcast, and after the stream is complete, the video will be saved on your Givebutter campaign automatically, for a playback opportunity.

Pro Tip: Premieres have to be scheduled at least 10 minutes in advance. You won't be able to launch a Premiere immediately, so be sure to plan. Facebook pages can schedule more than one Premiere for the same time.

Note: The Premiere feature is only available to those with a Facebook Page. Don't have a Facebook account? No problem, Facebook Pages are free for any business or organization to create; here are those directions.

Regarding notifications to your Facebook Page subscribers, viewers can click a button to subscribe to notifications on your Premiere. Subscribers receive their first notification 20 minutes before your Premiere begins.

Note: Givebutter does not send any notifications regarding live events.

Step-by-step directions to schedule and embed a Facebook Premiere

  1. Navigate to the Facebook Creator Studio and click Create post from the Page you want your Premiere to broadcast from

  2. Click Upload Video / Upload Multiple Video

  3. Select the video(s) you wish to Premiere

  4. Complete the steps of adding a title and description, click Next

  5. Click Publishing Options, Select Premiere

  6. Fill out the fields for Premiere Start Time

  7. Click Schedule Premiere

  8. Great, now you wait as the video buffers. Facebook will notify you when the process is complete.

  9. About 15 minutes before your Premiere time, navigate to the Facebook Creator Studio

  10. Copy the Live Video URL and paste into your Givebutter Dashboard by following these directions.

Pro Tip: Facebook recommends that once your Premiere is scheduled, do not edit the file. If you need to swap in an updated or fixed video, do so at least one hour in advance.
