Facebook has been characterized for some time in part in only release copies of the new features that are coming to other apps like Periscope, Twitter, Snapchat, Telegram… It seems that the guys from Facebook ran out of ideas a long time ago or that the strategy meetings are only dedicated to seeing what they can and cannot copy to implement in their application. Although it seems strange and could be an original idea, the guys from Facebook have launched a new function in their application for iOS and Android, a function that allows us to enjoy the videos of the social network on Apple TV or through a Chromecast device.

Like I said, it could be an original idea but it is not. Keep in mind that this time the source of inspiration has been Twitter again that since just over a month launched the compatibility of the Twitter application with Apple TV, so that users of the microblogging network can enjoy Periscope videos, NFL broadcasts and others available on Twitter on the screen big of your house.

This new update, which is reaching all countries, since at the time of writing this article it is not yet available in Spain, it works very similar to YouTube. When playing a video through the Facebook platform, The symbol of a television will appear on the terminal screen and pressing on it will offer us the different options that we have available to be able to send the content to the TV of our home, and to this Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Smart TV ...

While the video is playing, we can go looking for more videos on our wall to add them to the playlist. In addition, this function is ideal to enjoy live broadcasts (another function copied directly from Periscope) to be able to enjoy live and on the big screen the reactions and comments made by the users who are visiting it at that moment.
