Thank you for sharing your contact number
Do you own a Portal?
avatar
yes the portal plus
Sanam S.
Do you want to replace an app to live stream, right?
avatar
well since Facebook Live is no longer an option to download as we need a app to stream and be able to view the chat comments at the same time
Sanam S.
I understand your point Steve.
Could you give me 3-5 minutes while I investigate it for you?
avatar
yes sir
Sanam S.
Thanks for your patience Steve

No problem
Sanam S.
Actually, officially we have not introduced an app for that, yet!

why did Facebook stop using it. This decision has really defeated the purpose behind the portal plus ability to be used
Sanam S.
An update soon should be released regarding this situation.

you know if Apple disabled the ability to make phone calls none would ever by a cell phone
Sanam S.
What really helps is to comment about it in the link I sent you. If anythings happens, you will be notified about it
I understand your point of view

so is there a release date scheduled and what can e use in the meantime
Sanam S.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do.
Also, please search in google and see if there are unofficial apps to use in the meantime.

I have been and yes there are some out there but not sure it is compatible with Facebook live streaming
Sanam S.
I am sorry for the situation
avatar
we were in hopes that Facebook would have suggestions on what software is available that offers what Facebook Live did where it integrated with Facebook
not your fault it’s upper management and software developer that decided to discontinue the original software and not offer any suggestions on what owners of the portal systems can use
Sanam S.
We need to wait and hopefully, it is possible to some updates will be released
avatar
you know I have almost $300 dollars invested in a system that is nothing but a big paperweight and desktop space taker due to the company’s decision
Sanam S.
I am sad to hear that Steve.
Let's wait for a while
avatar
at this point in the juncture I am trying to. So I guess I’ll look at an interactive web cam and attach a secondary monitor to my computer so we can continue to perform live streaming on Facebook. Please let the Facebook team know that they have a lot of people out there that have portals and they too are in the same boat. Thank you
Sanam S.
Sure, I will transfer your feedback. Good luck with your job Steve and your team

thanks
Sanam S.
Is there anything else I can help with?
