Facebook just released a new "built-in" live streaming application. We all saw this coming and it's a huge deal. With 1.59 Billion users worldwide, building in a free, easy to use live streaming application is going to change the way we think about Facebook. Why this is a BIG deal? Simplicity is key to scalability Facebook has had live streaming built into their mobile apps for a while. But this is available via a desktop computer Now users can set up mini live streaming studios with regular USB based video products Now let me start by saying that not everyone is going to have access right away. With the size of Facebook's network, they are rolling out the feature throughout 2017. Somehow, one of my accounts has it and all the other do not. So I made a quick video to show off the new Facebook Live Stream app below.
