Facebook’s new live video streaming feature “Facebook Live” became available last month, but it was limited to users in the US and celebrities with verified accounts. Now, the service is available worldwide but still no service for Android OS users.
The live video streaming service is provided via the Facebook app on iOS devices. Users can broadcast live over their Facebook accounts and invite friends and users who the user wishes to share the moment. When the broadcasting is over, the user can choose to delete the video or have it saved on the Facebook wall.
Similar to other live streaming services as Twitch and Periscope, users can subscribe to another account and get notified whenever the subscribed account starts a live feed.
