Facebook Launches “Live With” for Live Video Collaborations
(Facebook Introducing “Live With” for Collaborations)
Facebook announced a new feature called “Live With” today. This feature allows two people to broadcast live together on Facebook. It means both people appear in the same live video stream. Their audiences can watch the combined broadcast.
The feature is available now. Pages and public figures using Facebook Mentions can use it first. Facebook plans to make “Live With” available to more people soon. It aims to make live video more interactive and collaborative.
Using “Live With” is simple. Someone starts a live broadcast. They can then invite a friend to join them. The friend gets an invitation. If they accept, they join the broadcast instantly. Both broadcasters appear side-by-side on screen. Viewers see both video feeds and hear both audio streams. Viewers can comment and react as usual.
This enables new kinds of broadcasts. Interviews become easier. Performers can collaborate live. Experts can discuss topics together. Friends can share experiences simultaneously with their combined audiences. It adds a new dimension to Facebook Live.
Facebook sees this as a major step. Live video is popular. Making it collaborative increases its value. The company wants creators and public figures to engage audiences better. “Live With” helps achieve this goal. It fosters real-time interaction between broadcasters and viewers.
