Facebook has announced the rollout of a feature which enables anyone to share live video. The Mark Zuckerberg led company started testing this feature in December 2015 and it commented that it was inspiring to see all the ways that people have used Live to connect with their friends and family.
To share live video, tap on Update Status and then select the Live Video icon. You can write a quick description and choose the audience that you want to share with before going live. During your broadcast, you’ll see the number of live viewers, the names of friends who are tuning in and a real-time stream of comments. When you end your broadcast, it will be saved on your Timeline like any other video, which you can then delete or keep for your friends to watch later.
You can discover live videos from your friends and public figures you follow right in News Feed. While watching a live video, you can tap the Subscribe button to get notified the next time the broadcaster goes live.
Live is also available to public figures and verified Pages, and Facebook is working to bring live video to people using Android phones soon.
This feature will be available to the rest of the world over next few weeks
