What Is Facebook Gaming?

Like Twitch and YouTube Gaming, Facebook Gaming is a video streaming platform where gamers can watch each other's play. Facebook Gaming even hosts live streams of esports events. To access Facebook Gaming, select the Facebook Gaming icon at the top of any page.

You'll see a list of suggested streams, clips, and games. On the left side of the page, select Video > Browse to explore all streams or select Start Streaming to broadcast yourself. You can also create and participate in video game tournaments by selecting Tournaments in the left sidebar.

More of a casual gamer? Select Play Games in the left sidebar to play games like Uno, Bingo, and Battleship with your Facebook friends.

Setting Up Your Facebook Gaming Page

Once you set up your Gaming Creator page, use the tools under the Home tab and the left sidebar options to populate your page. For example, you can upload videos, sell merchandise, and create fundraisers. Facebook Gaming Creator pages are essentially a category of Facebook business pages, so some of the options may not apply to your needs.

You'll want to add as much content as possible to keep people on your page, but quality and consistency matter more than anything else. Stick to a regular streaming schedule, so your followers know when to expect new videos.

How to Upload Videos to Facebook Gaming

To add videos, select the Videos tab at the top of your page, then choose Upload Video. Your Facebook Gaming live stream videos will appear under the Live tab on your gaming page.

If your goal is to make money, you'll need to do more than stream and upload gaming videos. You'll want to create posts to highlight them on your Home page. To manage your videos and more, select Visit Creator Studio or Creator Studio in the left sidebar.

Facebook Gaming Creator Studio

The Facebook Creator Studio is your hub for managing all of your pages, videos, and posts. It hosts your video metrics, earnings and offers tips for improving your performance. You can also create posts and upload videos from here.

For example, on desktop, 100 Stars are sold for $1.40. A Creator gets 1 cent per star, so we pay out $1.00 to creators and keep $0.40 (30%).
