    I am pretty sure that this is not possible, but maybe someone will prove me wrong. I'd like to be able to take a Facebook LiveStream feed and play it in the new Unity VideoPlayer. However, I believe Facebook does not directly expose the video stream that we can grab in the VideoPlayer?

    I'm trying to do this myself, however even though I have the direct URL link to the Facebook Live video. The Unity player won't be able to play it.

    Even when I try to paste the video url link onto another tab it doesn't play. This is because the link you get from live video on the FB video player, is not a .mp4 file.

    I'm still trying to figure out a way on playing the Live video through Unity, but I am having no luck so far..

    Does anybody else have a solution to this please??
