How to Display Facebook Live Feeds on Android TV

What You Will Need

Before getting started, make sure you have the following:

• An Android TV with access to Google Play Store
• A free PosterBooking account
• A Facebook Live stream URL (public or embedded link)
• A stable Wi-Fi connection

PosterBooking supports website URLs as part of your content library, which means you can treat your Facebook Live stream just like any other web page and display it seamlessly on your TV.

Step 1: Install PosterBooking on Your Android TV

1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV
2. Search for PosterBooking
3. Download and install the app
4. Open the app, it will display a unique screen code
5. Leave this screen open, you will use this code to pair your TV

Step 2: Connect the Screen to Your PosterBooking Dashboard

1. Go to posterbooking.com on your computer or mobile browser
2. Create a free account or log in
3. Click Add Screen, enter the screen code from your TV
4. Give your screen a name (e.g. “Event Display” or “Lobby Feed”)
5. Click Add Screen

Your Android TV is now fully connected to the PosterBooking system and ready to receive live content.

Step 3: Get the Facebook Live Feed URL

You will now need the direct link to the Facebook Live video you want to display. If the stream is live or scheduled to start soon:

1. Go to your Facebook page or profile where the live stream is posted
2. Click the “Share” or options button on the live post
3. Choose Copy Link or open the video and copy the URL from the browser

Ensure the live feed is publicly viewable, or it may not display properly on external screens.

Step 4: Add the Facebook Live URL to PosterBooking

1. Go back to your PosterBooking dashboard
2. Click on Content, then select Websites
3. Click Create URL
4. Name the content (e.g. “Live from Facebook”)
5. Paste the Facebook Live video URL
6. Click Save

This creates a web-based content item you can now assign to a playlist and send to any screen.

Step 5: Create a Playlist for the Live Feed

1. Go to the Playlists section in your dashboard
2. Click Create Playlist
3. Give it a name like “Facebook Live Stream”
4. Click Add Content
5. Switch to the URLs tab and select the Facebook Live link
6. Add it to the playlist and click Save

If you’re only showing the live feed, this playlist can be used on its own. If you want to rotate between the live feed and other content (like announcements or promotions), you can mix them in the same playlist.

Step 6: Assign the Playlist to Your Android TV

1. Go to the Screens section
2. Click Add or Edit Playlist next to your Android TV screen
3. Select the playlist that includes your Facebook Live feed
4. Click Save

Your Android TV will immediately begin displaying the Facebook Live video. As the broadcast continues, the stream will remain active on the screen in real time.
