Watch Party #1
The feature was initially launched to groups only, but now it’s open to everyone, which includes users who want to post on their general news feed as well as businesses through their Facebook Business Page. Yet, one main limitation is that you can’t upload a new video. Instead, you’ll need to choose from the videos previously uploaded to your page, trending live videos, or one of the many available on Facebook Watch. Facebook Watch is a video streaming service (sort of like YouTube) released by the platform just last year to offer original videos created by Facebook’s partners. Just this week, Facebook released several popular, classic shows to the platform (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly) in order to stimulate buzz around the newly released feature – all of which are available free of charge.
