Facebook Watch: Facebook launched its Watch service in the United States on Thursday as it partners with YouTube for revenue from advertisements video.
The Watch video, which began testing earlier this month, allows users to find TV shows based on what their friends see and have conversations with others who watch the show during an episode.
Η service will contain content from Vox, Buzzfeed, Discovery Communications, το A&E Networks, το ABC της Walt Disney, καθώς και Live Sports όπως το Major League Baseball.
The largest Social Network via Facebook Watch will also initially pay content creators for shows that will be of interest. For the shortest events will be paid between $ 10.000 and $ 35.000, while larger presentations could reach $ 250.000, according to Reuters sources.
In the end, Facebook will open the platform for everyone, and everyone will be able to submit some live event.
Content partners will earn 55% of ad revenue, while Facebook will keep 45%. THE company is currently testing how ads can work within broadcasts, according to Dan Rose, Facebook's vice president of partnerships.
The company acquired the Source3 Intellectual Property Rights (IP) company in July to help content creators protect their IP.
