Taking tips during Facebook Live in the UK

Facebook Live is still widely used for local communities, gaming, music and events. Alongside Facebook's own tools, an external tip link lets viewers support you by card in seconds, and every tip can appear on screen when you stream from OBS.

Prepare your Facebook Live

  1. Create your DonoLink page and connect Stripe.
  2. Add alerts to OBS and send a test alert.
  3. Stream from OBS with your Facebook stream key.
  4. Add your link to the description and pin it in a comment.

Facebook's tools and an external link

Facebook offers its own support tools depending on country and page, with their own conditions. An external tip link has no threshold and also works for fans who follow you elsewhere. Both can coexist; follow Facebook's rules on links.

Where to put your link

So it is seen during the live:

Show tips on screen

Stream your Facebook Live from OBS Studio with the stream key Facebook provides, then add DonoLink alerts as a browser source. Every tip triggers the alert, with the message and text-to-speech if enabled. Add a tip goal to show progress towards a project.
