Facebook has announced that it is allowing users computers, live video streaming! It's a decision that will definitely affect the platform quite a bit.
It's been about a year since Facebook made Facebook Live available. This particular service gives its users the ability to broadcast live videos from cell phones their. However, it seems that the company continued with the development of the service to make it available on other platforms, most likely after the success of the mobile version.
What does this mean for Facebook? The largest social network became more competitive with Twitch and YouTube Gaming, because as you know computers (desktops) will be able to stream videos from external cameras, or from the streaming software internally.
In short, Facebook Live videos will now feature on-screen gameplay footage graphics, but also picture-in-picture for those who wish.
Live streaming from your computer will be just as easy as doing it from a mobile device. All you have to do is select Live Video from the new posts area of your Timeline, click "next" and you will start the show immediately.
