SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook added a new feature that will let you share live video with friends.
A walk in the mountains, the first steps of a baby, worthy of attention events such as a speech or just a cat taking a nap. Your audience will see everything in real time.
The function is almost equal to the Periscope deTwitter and Meerkat tool. The main difference is that the option is integrated into the main Facebook app and is not a standalone application, which should serve to attract more users. Furthermore, as everything from Facebook, the default setting is to share privately with your friends, but you can change settings.
A few months ago, Facebook tried the Live function with some celebrities. Only personalities like The Rock and Martha Stewart had access to the tool, not mere mortals … until now.
The new feature is still in the testing phase, which means that only a lucky few iPhone users can try it. Facebook did not announce when put within reach of a wider audience.

As Periscope, people can post comments during transmission and you can see how many fans are watching your material. Friends who have lost a transmission can return to it in your biography. Those who have seemed to them particularly attractive can subscribe and receive an alert the next time you transmit something live.
The videos are very important for Facebook, which said earlier this year that users see more than 3,000 videos a day.
Facebook also added a new feature collage that combines photos with videos of a place or a day in a publication. The collage will be first available to users of iPhone and Android will come next year.
The network is famous for adding new functions that already exist in other services. He adopted the hashtags long after the invention of Twitter. The popular function In this day is equal to the Timehop application.
Facebook is even testing a new feature in Messenger message that fade. He tried to start Poke, a standalone application that mimicked snapchat, but people almost forgot.
