Usually FB and skype only recognize USB compliant web cams. So you will need to find a way to make the capture card expose input as a webcam. If you were on a Mac, I'd recommend some syphon tools.

I am very interested in this because it has been requested of me to design a quality camera to stream Facebook Live for event promo. Does anyone know the exact criteria for Facebook? What video sources does it look for? Can you select the audio source? I want to send a feed from the board and was hoping to use a Focusrite box for the audio.
Can we put our collective heads together? Facebook really hides how live work. I can't even tell how it is executing the code in the browser. I am fairly sure the stream is using cutting edge WebRTC as I happen to have a SPAN port on my switch at home as I was working on our conferencing app for work and saw the stream come up in Wireshark.
I am not super current on Web-App technology but am very familiar with the WDM driver model in Windows, minidrivers and how media devices are exposed to apps. I know that Javascript has a WebRTC library.
Ok, scratch all of that. I did some quick research, you can't stream Live from a web broswer only a phone app.
Here is the trick ticket. There are many paid applications but
https://obsproject.com is an Open Source tool that looks like it can fit the bill for many light professional applications.
Facebook supports streaming plugins for live. It gives a key and an address to send your stream to so I don't understand what you mean by Facebook doesn't see your camera.
A quick check of one of my favorite capture cards, the Matrox Mojito supports the latest version of Skype.
