In the last year, applications to broadcast live video. The most famous in this sense are Periscope, owned by Twitter, and Merkat, the application that Twitter wanted to unseat by launching its own proposal. Facebook It also wants to enter the fight to be the service of choice for users to share their moments live and it had been some time since it had launched a function for it but, until yesterday, it was only available to famous people. Just yesterday, Facebook announced that they are going to extend the tests to a small number of normal users, and by "normal" I mean not famous. The bad news is that the chosen users, as always, are residents of the United States.
To check if you are one of the lucky users, you have to go to the Status Update section and see if you have the Live Video (or Live video) icon available. If you have it available, you just have to tap on the icon, write a short description of what you are going to offer, choose who can see it and start broadcasting. If I'm not mistaken, the broadcast can be left open for any user who finds the broadcast to see, in the same way that it can be done in Periscope.
As in Periscope, when a video is broadcast we can see the number and name of users who are watching the live broadcast, as well as their comments. When the broadcast ends, it will be saved on our wall and we can share it with our contacts. Users can subscribe to our broadcasts (and we to theirs) even if we have not started any yet to receive notifications when we make a broadcast.
Being Facebook the most used social network at the moment, I believe that the success of its function to broadcast live video is guaranteed success. As soon as it is available to all users, of course.
it's the best I like it
