I have Beta Tested the Live Streaming to Facebook this morning, it works very well.

The way that it works is that you create a live stream event on your Yi App, you then configure what wifi network to use, the quality video stream you want FHD, HD or SD and the refresh rate the app then gives you a QR code onscreen.
You select the Live tile in the camera and it will give you a QR scanner screen on the Yi 4K camera. Scan the QR code on the app and the camera will connect to wifi and initiate stream.
On the app you then choose view live stream in the Yi ap or on facebook.

When in facebook the stream is displayed as a live stream, similar to an uploaded video but with ability to view who is watching and add commentary/comments.

Very impressed with the implementation.
 
Does the Yi 4k Live Streaming with Facebook use any wifi network or must it be connected to the phone at all times?

Initially you connect the camera to the app using wifi but then when you setup the live stream it asks you which wifi connection you want to use, so you select which one and then it starts streaming on it. Not sure if it continues if you switch off or close the app.
 
That's interesting. Do you have any idea when it will be available? Thanks for the reply.
