How to add a poll on Facebook

Today I would love to share with you a detailed instruction on how to create a Facebook Live poll video with Video React.

See: I want to change my Facebook name

You probably have noticed that Facebook Live poll videos are the hottest trend right now; you could say that they have swept through the social media marketing community like a tidal wave. I know that many marketers would love to try this new format on their pages but don’t know how to create it.

You might already have seen a bunch of complicated tutorials on the internet that perhaps pushed you off from even trying. But no need to despair! In this article, I will show you how to create a  Facebook Live poll video in just about 15 minutes without any programming skills or special technical knowledge. 

LATEST UPDATE Dear friends, the service I mention in this article doesn’t work anymore. I recommend you to use GoUpLIVE instead. It is even easier to use and they have more interesting interactive video templates. On top of that, they stream your live polls from their servers, so you don’t need to do it from your computer anymore.

If you  would like to learn more about the templates offered by UpLIVE.

Happy polling!

Facebook Live poll: what is this?

A short introduction for those of you, who haven’t heard about Facebook Live polls before.

Basically, Facebook Live poll is a simple video consisting of the following elements: 1) a question, 2) two or four images representing answer options, 3) the reactions a user is supposed to use and 4) vote counters that are updated in real time.

This is the Live poll from where it all started: Clinton vs Trump. It got more than 19 million views, 437,000+ reactions and more than 15,000 shares.

Why are Facebook Live poll videos more efficient than normal page posts?

The answer to this question is very simple. There are at least two reasons for that:

1. First of all, Facebook tends to push Live videos higher in the Newsfeed. Live videos get an extra organic boost from the algorithm while they are live. After that, a live video is treated as a normal video post which also gets a good organic reach. In case you didn’t know, Facebook spent hundreds of millions of dollars to promote Live events. So, it goes without saying, that Facebook is right now trying to encourage people to use this feature.
2. Secondly, Facebook live polls are a new cool feature and people love all things shiny and new. Live polls stand out in people’s feeds and attract more attention. For this reason, now is the best time to jump on the live poll train. You want to be one of the first ones, rather than last, to use this new feature. This way you get the best results.

How to create a Facebook Live poll video in 5 easy steps

UPDATE: Hey guys! I have recently found a new cool tool called UpLive. They have some unique Facebook LIVE video templates that I haven’t seen any other services offering. I personally love their Reveal template as it works just great. If you are interested, check them out. I also have a new article with in-depth description of all their templates and how you can use them to promote your Facebook page. 

Happy LIVE polling! 

— Ekaterina Frolova

In this tutorial we will create a quick and easy live poll with the help of a service called Video React. Note: this isn’t a free service but it is definitely worth every cent. It will save you a lot of precious time and, most importantly, your nerves.

I have already created several Facebook Live polls with Video React and I absolutely love it. It took me literally some 15 minutes to create my first poll and even less for the next ones. You don’t have to deal with any HTML-templates. You won’t even need to create a Live event on Facebook; Video React will do the whole job for you.

Check: Go to FB login

You will be able to create four types of Facebook live polls with the help of Video React:

1. a poll with two photos (for example, cats vs dogs) and reactions  and 
2. a poll with one photo and the same two reactions ( & ). You might want to use this one if you want to create your own image with special fonts or your branding. I use Canva to create an image for this type of poll.
3. a poll with four photos and four different reactions.
4. NEW FEATURE: a poll with a question and four horizontal lines where the amount of votes is displayed. I really love this poll type. I have seen one major Facebook page using a poll like this to compare footballers (the European kind  ). I think this template is great for encouraging audience to vote for their favourite celebrities, foods, drinks, flavours, clothing items and so on.

You can see each type displayed in the picture below.

In a nutshell, all you need to do is follow these five steps:

1. sign up for Video React;
2. download a free software for broadcasts called OBS Studio (works with Windows OS, Mac OS and Linux OS);
3. in Video React, create your Facebook Live poll post (upload your images and write the post text);
4. copy and paste the key and link (generated for you in Video React) into the OBS Studio software;
5. click the «Start streaming» button.

That’s it!  It’s that simple! No programming or technical knowledge needed!

Step-by-step tutorial: how to create a Facebook Live poll

1. Sign up for Video React.

• Go to Video React’s website.

• Click on the red button «Create Facebook Live Voting».
• A pop up window will appear and ask you to sign in. Sign in to your personal Facebook profile and click on «Continue as [your name].»
• Give the application permission to have access to your Facebook pages and to post on them.Click «OK». Don’t switch off any of the permissions because otherwise the app won’t be able to do the job for you. It needs access to your pages and the permission to post since it will actually post your Live poll to your page in one click.

2. Create your Facebook Live Poll post

In this step we will work on the Facebook post that your audience will see.

1. First, from the dropdown list, select the page on which your poll will be posted.
2. Next, choose the poll format you want to use: 1 or 2 images with two Facebook reactions or 4 photos with four different reactions.
3. If you decided to use the 2 photos option, add a title to each photo. Also, you can choose either «or» or «vs». This will be displayed between titles.
4. If you wish, you can add a color background (optional) that will appear behind the two photos.
5. Upload the photos.
6. Select the Facebook reactions that you would like to use in your poll. These are trackable reactions and their count will be displayed on the video in real time.
7. And finally, write your post caption. Remember to include the question you want to ask your audience; they should have a clear call-to-action to act upon. Don’t make the caption too long. This will only distract your audience from the poll.
8. Save your poll post to continue.

Click to enlarge the image.

3. Choose your payment plan

When you click on the «Save» button, you will be asked to choose a payment plan.

You have two options here:

1. a one month subscription for unlimited polls for unlimited Facebook pages;
2. or a life time subscription for unlimited polls for unlimited Facebook pages.

For the time being you can only pay with PayPal. However, I believe that there will be more payment options in the future.

Once you have paid for the service, you will get back to the post design page. Click on the «Save» button once again.

4. Automatically generate «Stream Key» and «Stream URL»

Now we have come to an important step. Video React will automatically generate a «Stream Key» and «Stream URL» for you. You will need to enter the key and the URL into the OBS Studio software. I will show you how to do it in the following steps.

IMPORTANT! Keep the Stream Key a secret. Anyone who gets access to your key will be able to stream video to your post. The stream key is valid for 7 days.

Read: Is there a way to read deleted Facebook messages

5. Download and configure OBS Studio

Open a new browser tab. Download and install OBS Studio. OBS Studio is a free open source software for video recording and live streaming. We need it in order to be able to show the reactions vote count in real time in our Facebook Live video.

Now, let’s set up your streaming software. It is very easy to do, just follow my step-by-step instructions below and you will be set for success 

1. Open the program.
2. Go to the program «Preferences», then choose the «Stream» tab as shown on the screenshot below. Then, choose «Facebook Live» in the field called «Stream».

3. Go to your Video React tab. There you should see a field called «Stream key». Copy the key and paste it into OBS Studio, in the field (that also is) named «Stream key».

4. Next, in OBS Studio, go to the «Video» tab and set the video resolution to 768×768. Do it in both fields: «Base Resolution» and «Output Resolution». Save the changes by clicking «OK».

IMPORTANT! Type in the resolution numbers manually, don’t copy and paste. When I first tried to copy/paste the numbers, my computer couldn’t save them. This resulted in an incorrect video output, so, please, pay attention to this step.

5. Now, go to the «Audio» tab and make sure that you have totally disabled all the audio output. See the example below. Save the changes by clicking «OK».

6. In the section called «Scenes», create a new scene by pressing «+» (see picture below, lower left corner). Give your scene a name, for example, the name of your poll. It doesn’t really matter what name you give. You can leave the default name, if you wish. Press  «OK» to save the changes.

7. In the section called «Sources», click on the «+» (see picture below)and select the option «BrowserSource». Give the source a name or just leave the default name. Press  «OK» to save the changes.

8. In the pop-up window (see picture below), delete the link in the URL field. Go back to your Video React tab. There you should see a field called «Stream URL». Copy the key and paste it into OBS Studio, in the field (that also is) named «Stream URL».

Next, in the fields «Width» and «High» enter the resolution 768 and 768; otherwise the picture will not be displayed correctly. Save the changes by clicking on the button «OK».

9. Well done! We are almost there and ready to launch our first Facebook Live video poll.

Before you post your poll, please check that your video is being displayed correctly. Look at the example below. Your image should be surrounded by a grey area. Only the area inside of the red lines will be visible to Facebook users. If you happen to see a black area around your video image, go back to the steps #4 and #5/4 in this section and make sure that the video resolution is set to 768 x 768.

8. If everything is fine and you are ready to go, press the button «Start Streaming».

IMPORTANT! When you press on «Start Streaming», your Live poll will be automatically published on your Facebook page.

What you should do when your Facebook Live poll video is streaming

Once you have pushed your video live, monitor that everything goes according to plan.

The most important thing is that you keep your OBS Studio window open during the whole streaming time! This is crucial because your audience will see what is displayed in this window. If your computer freezes or shuts down, your streaming will go offline.

How to increase the reach of your Facebook Live poll?

Here are some simple recommendations for you:

• Pin your Facebook live poll to the top of your page to gain as much exposure as possible.
• Share the poll on your personal timeline to give the post the first boost. If you have colleagues, partners or employees, ask them to share the post as well.
• Share the poll in relevant Facebook groups to further increase the reach.
• Embed the live streaming poll to your website or blog.
• If you have newsletter subscribers, send them an email with a kind invitation to vote. Remember to include the link to your poll  I highly recommend to prepare the newsletter in advance — Facebook allows maximum 4 hours of streaming.
• Promote the link to your live poll on other social media channels.

Things to keep in mind before you start your Facebook Live poll

• In order to run a Facebook Live streaming event, you need a high speed internet connection and a good computer! If your internet is turned off or your computer freezes, your live poll will go offline as well.
• The maximum duration of the live video on Facebook is 4 hours. Make sure that you can be around your computer all this time.
• OBS Studio must be open during the entire streaming time. You can use your computer, but do not close the streaming window.
• You can run one streaming at a time. This means that you cannot run simultaneously two or more live polls on the same computer.

Facebook account recovery

Your Facebook account is important to you, but you’re in a tight spot because it’s been disabled!? There might come a time when your Facebook account is either disabled or locked, and this is where you’ll be wondering about what to do next. Chances are, your Facebook account was disabled by you or someone else. If that’s the case, then this post will show you how to recover & reactivate a disabled Facebook Account.

Recover disabled Facebook Account

If your account was deactivated by Facebook, then you’ll need to submit an appeal to the company. Bear in mind that depending on the reason for the deactivation of your account, Facebook may never reinstate it. The only option, then, is to create a new account and forget the old.

You deactivated your Facebook account

If you’ve disabled your account, then the following steps should be good enough to get things up and running again.

Like many users of the social network, there’s a chance you might have grown tired of Facebook, and as such, you’ve gone ahead and temporarily deactivated the account. Now, to get it back to its regular form, this can be done quite easily.

Hot:

• I want to change my Facebook name
• Facebook voting app

For those who have intentionally place their Facebook profile up for deletion, then be sure to log in before the first 14 days if you want to save it from permanent deletion. After the 14-days have passed, then there’ll be no other way to reinstate it.


OK, so log into your Facebook account by entering your email address and password. If your account was put up for deletion, you should see a prompt asking to either Cancel Deletion or Confirm Deletion.

Simply click on the Cancel Deletion button to save your profile from permanent deletion. We understand that your profile will be reinstated at the same state it was in before, so there’s nothing to fear.

The account has been disabled by Facebook

If your account has been disabled by Facebook, you’ll see a special message when you try to log in. Facebook deactivates accounts for the following reasons:

• Using a fake name
• Impersonating someone
• Posting content that doesn’t follow the Facebook Terms
• Continuing behavior that’s not allowed on Facebook by violating Community Standards
• Contacting other people for harassment, advertising, promoting, dating or other conduct that’s not allowed. 

Now, if you felt you’ve been punished by Facebook, then it’s time to check if your account is locked. Visit Facebook, then log in using your username and password. From there, if the social network disabled your account, then you should see “Account disabled.” All is not lost because the option is there to file an appeal. If you think your account was disabled by mistake, you can file an appeal here on Facebook.

The appeal section will require a picture copy of your ID, so be sure to have one on the ready, Finally, add details of your appeal in the “Additional info” section, and you’re good to go from there.

Sit back and wait for a response from Facebook about the possibility of returning your account to normal. It may or may not happen, so cross your fingers and hope for the best.

How to change privacy settings on Facebook

How to change privacy settings on Facebook - Facebook is a marvellous tool for keeping in touch with old friends, family and anyone else you care to talk to. But that digital freedom can come at a cost: your privacy. Fortunately there are ways to ensure only the people you want to see your Facebook profile can – unless of course somebody knows your password.

Read: Reactivation of Account

The process of making your Facebook private is actually relatively painless once you familiarise yourself with the increasingly bloated user-interface. So where do you begin? Read on.

1 | Privacy Shortcuts

There are two easy ways to get to the relevant privacy settings of your Facebook profile. In the top right, you will see a button to the right of your name – it has a padlock on it and three horizontal lines. Press it and then select 'See More Settings' at the bottom.


Alternatively you can click the little cog settings button located in the very top right next to the aforementioned Privacy Shorts button and then select "Settings" from the drop-down menu. The end result is exactly the same in either case. Now you can start to tailor your privacy.

Check out: How to close my FB account

2 | Who can see my stuff?

Under the Privacy Settings and Tools heading you will see three bolded questions: "Who can see my stuff?", "Who can contact me?" and "Who can look me up?". We'll start with the first heading in the list.

On "Who can see your future posts?" click the edit button on the far right. Now select who you want to see your future Facebook posts from the drop-down. Public will be the opposite of private (naturally), so set it to "friends" if you only want Facebook friends to see them.


Alternatively you can select "only me" if you want only yourself to see what you post, or click "Custom". Custom allows you to select specific options including "Don't share with", meaning you can pick a specific Facebook friend or friends you no longer wish to share posts with. You can also block lists you are a part of, such as a school network.


If there is a post you want to limit the visibility of, the "Review all your posts and things you're tagged in" setting located below allows you to do just that. Hit the "activity log" button and you can then use the pen edit button to delete specific entries you no longer wish to share.

3 | Who can contact me?

In case you want to stop getting inbox messages from people you aren't Facebook friends with, you can use the message-filtering option under "Who can contact me?". Switch it from basic filtering to strict filtering to only see messages from friends in your inbox. Doing so should keep random messages from strangers at bay.

Trending: Install Facebook icon

4 | Who can look me up?

Sometimes you may want to limit who can look up your Facebook profile. The "Who can look me up?" options group allows you to tailor your privacy in this regard. With friends enabled, only friends can look you up using your email address.

The same options can be specified for your phone number (if you entered one into Facebook). Again, select the friends option for the strictest level of privacy.

Finally, you can choose whether search engines such as Bing and Google can link to your Timeline. A simple tick box option is all it takes to really shut your Facebook profile off from the world wide web. As Facebook states, this option can take a while to come into effect so don't panic if it seems like you are still coming up on search engines.

See: Facebook login from another account

5 | Ultimate privacy?

To really ensure your privacy, there is always the option to leave Facebook entirely. Of course, this is a drastic course of action but something like online bullying could force your hand (in which case, you should seek support). Or maybe you are just tired of sharing everything so publicly.


Whatever your reasoning, click the settings cog in the top right and then select Security on the left (just below General). At the bottom you will see some blue text that says "deactivate your account". Press this and you will be prompted to supply a reason for leaving as well as a warning that your friends will no longer be able to contact you. Click confirm and you are Facebook-free.

Now give that friend a call and go for a drink to celebrate your new-found digital freedom. Or simply enjoy your new level of Facebook privacy.

How can I see what my profile looks like to other people?

You can see what your profile looks like to other people by using the View As tool.
To use View As:

• Go to your profile and click to the bottom right corner of your cover photo.
• Click View As... in the dropdown menu.
• You’ll see what your profile looks to the public. To see how your profile appears to a specific person, like a friend or coworker, click View as Specific Person, type their name and press enter.
• To exit View As, click X on the banner.

How to delete Facebook Account

Recent events might have you contemplating a break from Facebook. That's not an option for everyone; in that case, just tighten up your account settings. But if having your data mined for political purposes without your permission sketches you out, there are ways to extricate yourself from the massive social network.

Read: How to create Facebook Poll on Page

If you're ready for a social media break, here's how to delete Facebook.

Deactivating

Facebook gives you two options: two options: deactivate or delete
The first couldn't be easier. On the desktop, click the drop-down menu at the top-right of your screen and select Settings. Click General on the top left, Edit next to "Manage Account." Scroll down and you'll see a "Deactivate My Account" link at the bottom. (Here's the direct link to use while logged in.)

If you're on your mobile device, such as using Facebook for iOS, similarly go to Settings > Account Settings > General > Manage Account > Deactivate.

Check: Facebook Online Mobile Login

Facebook doesn't take this lightly—it'll do whatever it can to keep you around, including emotional blackmail about how much your friends will miss you.

As such, "Deactivation" is not the same as leaving Facebook. Yes, your timeline will disappear, you won't have access to the site or your account via mobile apps, friends can't post or contact you, and you'll lose access to all those third-party services that use (or require) Facebook for login. But Facebook does not delete the account. Why? So you can reactivate it later.

Smart Read: How can I see my deleted messages on Facebook

Just in case that expected re-activation isn't in your future, you should download a copy of all your data on Facebook—posts, photos, videos, chats, etc.—from the settings menu (under "General").

---

Account Deletion

To fully delete your Facebook account forever and ever, go to the Delete My Account page at facebook.com/help/delete_account. Just be aware that, per the Facebook data use policy, "after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or stored by other users."


Translation: if you wrote a comment on a friend's status update or photo, it will remain even after you delete your own profile. Some of your posts and pictures may hang around for as long as 90 days after deletion, as well, though just on Facebook servers, not live on the site.

Deletion on Behalf of Others

If you want to notify Facebook about a user you know is under 13, you can report the account, you narc. If Facebook can "reasonably verify" the account is used by someone underage—Facebook bans kids under 13 to comply with federal law—it will delete the account instantly, without informing anyone.

There's a separate form to request removal of accounts for people who are medically incapacitated and thus unable to use Facebook. For this to work, the requester must prove they are the guardian of the person in question (such as by power of attorney) as well as offer an official note from a doctor or medical facility that spells out the incapacitation. Redact any info necessary to keep some privacy, such as medical account numbers, addresses, etc.



If a user has passed away, a legacy contact—a Facebook friend or relative who was designated by the account owner before they died—can get access to that person's timeline, once approved by Facebook. The legacy contact may need to provide a link to an obituary or other documentation such as a death certificate. Facebook will "memorialize" the page so the deceased timeline lives on (under control of the legacy contact, who can't post as you), or if preferred, remove it.

Recommended: Facebook voting app

Designate a specific legacy contact person to handle your account after your passing. You can find that under Settings > General > Manage Account > Your Legacy Contact. Once you set one up, you'll get a notification every year from Facebook to double check that the contact should stay the same, unless you opt out of that. You can also take the extra step of making sure that after you die, if the legacy contact does report you to Facebook as deceased, your account gets deleted (even if the legacy contact wants the timeline to be memorialized).

How to change business page name on Facebook

Businesses grow and change, and often their names change with them. Now, you can change your Facebook page name and URL as you grow or acquire older businesses.

Limits to Changing Your Facebook Page Name

For many years, it was impossible to change your Facebook name. Facebook has now loosened up slightly on that rule.

Today, you can change your Facebook page name — but just once, so do it thoughtfully. The process will differ depending on whether you have more or less than 200 likes.

How to Change Your Facebook Page Name

1. Click “About”

Get started by clicking the About option under your page name.

Read: Facebook New Account Login Page

2. Edit Page Info and Name

Make sure Page Info is clicked on the left side. Then, find Name. When you roll over it, you will see a pencil icon on the right. Click that to edit your name.

3. Change or Request Change

If your page has fewer than 200 likes, you can immediately change your name. If you have more than 200 likes, you have to request a change.

Either enter your new name and click Save Changes if you can, or click on Request Change.

4. Update Page Details and Name

Before changing your name, you need to clarify what your page represents.

Facebook will let you change your name only once, so make sure you choose a name that can last! Enter it in the Desired Page Name section.

View: How do I correct my name on Facebook?

5. Give Facebook Your Firstborn (Okay, Just an Official Document)

Here's where it gets a little tricky. Facebook wants to confirm that this is actually your business's name.

To do this, you need to upload a document with your business's name on it. Facebook recommends a utility or phone bill, but we have been able to get a name change approved with almost any “official-looking” document.

To make it easy, just take a photo of the document with your phone, and upload the photo.

Check: Messenger Download Now

6. Wait

In our experience, Facebook has been quick to approve a name change when you have an acceptable document. Within a few days, your page name will most likely update.

The site does say your name could take up to 14 days to update, so just check back to see if the change was successful.

How to unblock groups on Facebook

If you have accidentally blocked someone from your Facebook group or if you want to reverse a ban that you have made in the past, the steps in this tutorial will help you. Continue reading to find out how.

Banning someone from a Facebook group will permanently prevent that user from accessing the group. In order to add him or her back to the group, you have to remove the ban first. Only group admins are able to remove a ban.

See: How do I reinstate my Facebook

1. In order to unblock someone from a Facebook group, sign in to Facebook using the account you use to manage the group, and then navigate to the group using the left sidebar. By default, Facebook does not show all of the groups that you have joined or managed. If you cannot find the group you want, click More to access the full group list.

2. Once you are in the group, find and click on the Members tab. This tab is a hub for accessing information regarding all of the group’s members.

3. When the list of members shows up onscreen, click the All Members button near the search box to see more options, and choose Blocked.  

4. Clicking the Blocked option will filter out all the group members but the ones you have blocked. Here, you can find a list of all Facebook users that you and any other admin have blocked from the group. No matter when you blocked them, Facebook will still keep a list of blocked members for you. To find the member you want to remove from the list, use the Search button near the Blocked button. To lift the ban for that particular user, click the Remove Ban link near his profile picture, and then click Remove Ban again in the pop-up window to confirm. 

  

5. When the user has been successfully removed from the list, you can search and manually add him back to the group as if nothing ever happened.

How to unblock groups on Facebook

I tested it yesterday. Had a friend leave secret group and check "don't let someone readd me". I then sent the link via a pm. They were able to request to "Join Group" from pc (they won't see all of the group but the "Join Group" button will be there). It works on a mobile device only if they use the browser (if they use the app, it will open the browser and they have to be logged in to FB). Not sure if they have to be your friend to send the link for them to do this...but they have to be a former member.

The only way to do this is make the group closed (not secret) and share the URL with the person who can then request to be added again. That took some figuring out...
