The name of this video is misleading and none of thee video addresses actually adding an event to a page...

Jerry this was great! What do you do if you want to announce an upcoming event 6 weeks in advance?

[stephanieley]

Holy bejeebers, thank you so much, I couldn't find it, even searched in help which was not helpful. I appreciate you and have subscribed!

[tricialindsey]

Thank you for this!! I could not figure this out after the changes!

I have an event on my business page, I'd like to edit it but now facebook is saying that the event is locked and I can't change anything. Any tips on how to fix this?

[DDM]

Hallo, how do I edit the time zone on my event on my Facebook Business page? Thank you.

Nice video? I need to know how I would set up a weekly recurring in-person event that has two of those events meeting at a different place and time than all of the others?

Can I create a Private Event on a business Page? With all the changes on FB I am switching to a Page only, but have events -private

[Challengingtheimpossible]

As far as I can tell, unless they send you a specific message, nobody can say they going to your event from a mobile. They can only say that they're interested. Is there a way to change this?

[adamkrauss]

My band is playing at a local venue. So when I create the event on our band FB page, can I list the venue’s FB page as Co-host and then it will go out to all their followers?

[MrSubnex]

Is there a way to invite all followers of the page to the event in a single click? Why is facebook so hard:(

[leonarddumas]

can I create a private event as a page?

[buffalotreehouse]

Is there any way to create the event but not publish it yet? We have a lot but don't want to bombard facebook all at once

[MasterSepher]

Great video! Is it possible to change the privacy for the event? So that it is just for my private group?
