Yes, you can run a 24/7 live stream on Facebook by looping a pre-recorded video: Facebook Live accepts a persistent stream key over RTMPS, and StreamZop broadcasts your uploaded video to it from the cloud around the clock. You get the stream key and server URL from Facebook Live Producer under the streaming-software option, paste them into StreamZop (which has a built-in Facebook preset), upload your video, and press Go Live. Facebook can end a single live session after a long run, so StreamZop reconnects automatically to keep the channel continuous. Stream to a Facebook Page rather than a personal profile for the most reliable always-on results, and only stream content you own or are licensed for.
Go live 24/7 on Facebook
Open Facebook Live Producer
Go to facebook.com/live/producer on the Page you want to stream to, and choose Go Live.
Choose Streaming software
Pick the streaming-software (RTMP) option, then select a persistent stream key so it keeps working across restarts, not a single-use one.
Copy the stream key and server URL
Facebook shows a Stream key and a Server URL (rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp). Copy the key.
Paste it into StreamZop
In StreamZop, pick Facebook as the platform (the server URL is filled in for you) and paste your stream key.
Upload your video and Go Live
Upload the video to loop, or use audio plus a background image, then press Go Live. StreamZop keeps it running and reconnects if Facebook drops the session.
Use a persistent stream key
Facebook offers single-use and persistent stream keys. For an always-on channel choose the persistent key, because it stays the same after every reconnect, so StreamZop can restart the broadcast without you touching anything. A single-use key stops working after one session and would break a 24/7 stream.
Why stream to a Page, not a profile
Streaming to a Facebook Page gives you the most reliable persistent key and the insights and reach that suit an always-on broadcast. Personal-profile live is more limited, so a Page is the better home for a 24/7 loop.
Keeping it continuous
Facebook may close a single live session after a long stretch. StreamZop watches the stream and reconnects with the same persistent key automatically, so your channel comes straight back and stays effectively 24/7. This is the same auto-restart that keeps a pre-recorded live stream running on any platform. If a stream ever errors, the troubleshooting guide explains the fix.

Frequently asked questions
Can you stream a pre-recorded video to Facebook Live 24/7?+
Yes. Facebook Live accepts a persistent stream key over RTMPS, so a tool like StreamZop can loop your uploaded video to a Facebook Page around the clock from the cloud, reconnecting automatically to stay continuous.
What is Facebook's RTMP server URL?+
Facebook's ingest URL is rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp. You pair it with the stream key shown in Live Producer. In StreamZop the server URL is filled in when you pick Facebook, so you only paste the key.
Where do I find my Facebook stream key?+
Open facebook.com/live/producer on your Page, choose Go Live, then the streaming-software option. Select a persistent stream key and copy it. Paste it into StreamZop.
Do I need OBS or a PC to stream 24/7 on Facebook?+
No. StreamZop runs the stream from cloud servers, so once you press Go Live you can close your computer and the Facebook broadcast keeps going.
