Hello guys. I'm from Malaysia. I just bought my Spark last week. First can I know how to go live facebook with my Spark? Last but not least, why I cannot find enable button for my map and live streaming? Thank you.

May want to consult the manual, but I see on page 42, "tap the *** to enter general setting metrics, enabling live streaming, displaying flight routes and so on.

I see that on Page 42 it talks about the live streaming.  However, if the spark is using the wifi you don't have the option of live streaming.  If I turn OFF the wifi I get the screen with live streaming but I lose connection to the spark.  I saw a youtube video showing how you can use a two side micro-usb cable and make the video work (like the mavic is connected with a cable) but I cannot get the spark to connect this way.  Anyone else have any luck?

True, but technically DJI has made no mention of the USB/OTG cable connection method.  Mind you that I connect my Spark using OTG.  I'm thinking that maybe the Live Streaming portion of the Spark manual has been recycled from the Mavic manual.

Update:  I just read that Live Streaming will work, but only WITHOUT using the RC.

From what I've been reading on the Spark forum only the phone will work.  Which presents an entirely other issue, because its very cumbersome to connect the phone to the Spark once an RC has been paired/linked to it.

Live streaming uses the internet of your mobile device and it can transmit the image to the third party platform.

According to your description, it seems that you use an Android phone and it can not use wifi and mobile data at the same time. Please try to use an iphone instead. Thanks.

I've spent the entire morning trying to live stream from my Spark using the latest Android; it'll not work with the RC connected to the Android phone with the OTG cable. The OTG cable has nothing to do with being able to obtain "live streaming" it just improves connection that's all!

You need to unpair the RC if you're using an Android then live stream from your cell, then pair the RC and phone up once you've finished live streaming. For some WEIRD reason DJI has yet again made it virtually impossible for Android users to use their UAV's in exactly the same way as Iphone users. SIGH!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP DJI!

I tried using my otg cable to connect my phone to the drone as not to use the WiFi to connect to the drone.so I can use my cell data to live stream..I am using a Samsung s8+ and when I connect the otg and shut off the WiFi the phone goes dead...I have to connect a power cable to phone to start it back up...

The OTG cable is directional, try flipping the cable  around and try again.

So i have OTG with mine and use Samsung Galaxy S8. I really can't see the livestream option...... I mean i guess i'm not missing out too much as Facebook reduces video quality down to about 360P!!!!

Just did a few live streams via Facebook on my DJI Spark and my Android phone. Works really easily. I used the controller and connected to my Android phone via cable.
