Don’t mistake this for the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) without the “S”.

If you’re keen on live streaming through a software encoder or hardware encoder, make sure the application or device you have your eye on supports streaming through the secure Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPS). Streaming encoder caveat: RTMP versus RTMPS Under these circumstances, most Facebook users won’t care whether your live stream is in 720p, 1080p, or 4K – because the difference is imperceptible. Those who do use a computer will probably watch videos in a tiny window off to the side while scrolling through their news feeds anyway. That’s because most Facebook users access the platform on their mobile phones.

For Facebook specifically, 1080p live streaming is a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have. In any case, don’t let Facebook’s lack of universal 1080p live streaming stop you from considering it as a viable live streaming platform. YouTube allows not only 1080p live streaming but also 4K.
Ultimately, if your goal is to put out the highest quality live stream, YouTube is your platform. There’s no point in sending a 1080p signal only for Facebook to knock it down to 720p. Experiment beforehand to determine your maximum streaming resolution. Likewise, the exact criteria an account or device must meet to unlock 1080p streaming is known only to Facebook. It’s likely Facebook will roll out 1080p for all users at some point. This is true at the time of writing (November 2019). If you’re not using an account or a device with 1080p streaming enabled, Facebook Live will downscale any 1080p signal you send to 720p. Select accounts, and select devices can stream in 1080p. Facebook limits most live streams to 720p.
