‘Facebook introduceert mobiel live streaming video optie’

Het succes van Periscope en Meerkat laten Facebook niet koud. 3 december 2015 is een test gestart in de VS onder iPhone gebruikers van Facebook op de mobiel. Zij kunnen nu hun belevingen live via video delen. De mobiel is de camera.

To share live video, tap on Update Status and then select the Live Video icon. You can write a quick description and choose the audience that you want to share with before going live. During your broadcast, you’ll see the number of live viewers, the names of friends who are tuning in, and a real-time stream of comments. When you end your broadcast, it will be saved on your Timeline like any other video, which you can then delete or keep for your friends to watch later.

Ook introduceert Facebook de mogelijkheid om collages te maken van foto’s en zo te delen. Ook daar hebben de iPhone-gebruikers de primeur en volgt snel Android. Met de introductie van Periscope was het omgedraait; eerst kregen de Android-gebruikers de optie, later iPhone.

When you tap on Photo, you’ll see recent moments from your camera roll organized into collages based on when and where you took them. You can edit your collage by adding, removing or re-arranging the photos and videos that you want to include. When you’re done, you can add a title to the collage before sharing. Collages will begin rolling out on iPhone today and will be available on Android early next year.
