Families, viewers, and public, we have been experiencing difficulties with Facebook and livestreaming. Most music chosen by families is copyrighted and in turn kicks our live feed off with their Meta bots that search out infractions. So, we are still experimenting to see what works best because we have lost connection for several families and had no video to show for it. We are at the moment are trying a camcorder so that services are recorded and try and transfer them to Facebook. We will solve this so just be patient with us, sorry for the inconvenience.
