facebook win

initiate live stream to facebook using obs-websocket, for each comment on the live video, the script will take the commenter name and he profile picture and will be displayed on the live stream itself.

live example : https://web.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=428462101245800

+ you will need to create an app on facebook account (normal if you worked with google , meta and other big tech)
+ also you need to set up permissions for the app for ex: read comments, start live stream.
+ to use the fully power of it its need to be reviewed by facebook team ( in my case its already approved )
