The owners of DJI drones will soon be able to stream live video to Facebook


DJI drones, stream live video to Facebook

Live streaming is becoming one of the aspects that are prioritized by Facebook today. Just last week, this giant social media launched a major update for the Facebook Live service.

But in the opening event for the F8 conference that's held for developers, Facebook also announced its plans for the live streaming service. One of them was the release of Live APIs so that anyone can tether the live streaming feature on any devices they have.

To demonstrate it, Mark Zuckerberg took DJI Phantom 4 drone and then flew it. Instantly the audiences could see the live video that's being recorded by the drone's camera. 


Meanwhile through Facebook, DJI promised to release an update for the DJI Go app in the near future that would allow users to do live streaming directly to Facebook.

This means that the live streaming feature is not only limited for the latest DJI Phantom 4, but also for other drone models that are compatible with DJI Go application, including the Inspire line. Apart from that, most likely users will also be prompted to perform the firmware update on their devices to be able to enjoy this feature.
