In a new step that may affect the content makers and users who depend on the live broadcast, Facebook announced a new update of its policies, as all direct broadcast clips will be deleted automatically 30 days after its publication.
This decision sparked controversy among users, especially those who use direct broadcasting for promotion, entertainment, or even awareness.
The impact of the new policy on users
The new change may cause major problems, especially since Facebook did not provide sufficient storage space or an option for users to retain broadcasting for longer periods. One of the most prominent negative effects of this decision:
Content loss:
Content makers who rely on live broadcast will lose their materials after a month, which may lead to a loss of great efforts in creating content.
Impact on marketing campaigns:
Commercial activities that use the live broadcast of ads and marketing will need to review their strategies.
Inability to refer to the content:
Users who want to refer to broadcast clips later, whether to learn or share content with others, will not be able to do so.
Alternative solutions to maintain live broadcasts
With this update, users need to search for practical alternatives to save their content and not lose it after 30 days. Here are some effective solutions:
Download live broadcast on other platforms
After completing the live broadcast, users can download the video and re -post it on platforms like YouTube or Tek Tok, as there are no strict restrictions on the storage period.
Using cloud storage tools
Live broadcast can be saved through Google Drive, Drop Box or iCloud, allowing users to reach it at any time without restrictions.
Create pages or private groups
Some users may find that creating closed pages or groups on Facebook can be an effective solution, as they can share broadcast records with interested members without fear of deleting the content after 30 days.
Using screen registration programs
Users can record broadcasts while playing with screen recording programs, then save the video on their devices to share it later.
How can users adapt to the new update?
To deal with these changes, users must adjust their strategies, via:
Preparation:
Determine the content that needs to be saved and transferred to other platforms.
Download the live broadcast immediately after it ends to prevent its loss after 30 days.
Reuse content:
Transforming broadcasts into shorter clips and re -posting them on other platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.
