Can Facebook Live Be Private?
It is possible to privately broadcast a Facebook Live video, limiting the audience to specific people or groups. When starting a Facebook Live broadcast, you can select the audience for the video by choosing either “Public,” “Friends,” “Friends except…” or “Specific friends.”
Choosing “Specific friends” allows you to choose who can view the video by adding individual Facebook friends or groups to the list. Only those in the selected audience can see the video while it’s Live and after it ends.
It’s important to note that Facebook Live videos can be shared, and if someone shares a private video, it may become available to a broader audience than intended.
