As livestreaming continues to proliferate throughout the internet, issues have started to emerge that causes people to think about how to best use these services. A concern creators, including broadcasters that are integrating their systems into tools like Periscope and Facebook Live, may have is how to better control who can see their videos. Until today there hasn't been an official way to really constrain broadcasts by geography - so someone has created one.
Called Levee, this application lets you generate Facebook Live posts targeted to specific locales you want while also streaming them from any commercially available streaming software. It was developed by the team at iSL, an experiential agency that's a Facebook media solutions partner, and is open to anyone to use - it's also been open sourced. iSL happens to be the firm that is working with USA Networks to promote its hit television show “Mr. Robot” which “leaked” its second season premiere yesterday online.

In a blog post, iSL chief executive Peter Corbett explained that Levee is a “super useful tool for companies like…NBCUniversal and Viacom who have programming that is rights restricted to specific regions of the world.”'
To use this application, content creators have to authenticate using their Facebook credentials before specifying the Page that they want to create a livestream for. From there, add a new live video with the title, description, and the countries you want to target. From there, you'll receive a livestream address that you can stream video to through using an application of your choice. Corbett cautions that once you've geo-targeted a video stream, it cannot be embedded outside of Facebook.
