What it is and how it works

A broadcast requires content prepared for its audience, a reliable connection, and provision for moderation and accessible alternatives for understanding it. Access conditions and recording retention are governed by the platform; this entry does not specify time limits or account requirements. Live broadcasting on Facebook is useful when simultaneous interaction offers something that a recording cannot provide in the same way.
