How to Turn On or Off Facebook Live Notifications

Facebook sends live notifications by default whenever a person or page you follow starts a live video. While this can be helpful for staying updated, it can also become overwhelming if you follow many people or pages.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to turn off Facebook Live notifications entirely or for specific people or pages using a PC, Android, or iPhone. Let’s get started!

2. Find one of their live videos and click on it.
3. On the right sidebar, look for the Bell icon and click it.
4. In the Live Video Notification Settings, you’ll see three options:
• All Live Videos: Get notifications for all live videos from this page.
• Live Video Highlights: Receive notifications for only suggested or important live videos.
• Off: Turn off all notifications for this page’s live videos.
5. Choose Off to stop receiving live notifications from this person or page.

On Android or iPhone

1. Open the Facebook app and go to the page or profile.
2. Find one of their live videos and tap on it.
3. If you’re on iPhone, tap the full-screen icon in the video.
4. Tap the three horizontal dots at the top-right corner.
