Facebook Watch: All info about the offer

Facebook is known to be active in many areas - the social network is only the foundation for quite a few more features. With Facebook Watch, a streaming service is available via Facebook. This has already been available since August 10, 2017 and contains numerous web videos.

Long more than a social network: Facebook is now also entering the streaming business.

Facebook Watch: Targeting a younger audience

Facebook Watch has been available in Germany since August 10, 2017. This is a video-on-demand platform that provides various web videos. You can watch these both from your computer and via mobile devices. For this reason, they are mostly shorter clips.

• Facebook Watch already has its own productions in the Netflix Originals category. However, the offer is not yet so extensive and is limited to a few contents.
• In the foreground are initially entertaining clips with potential to viral hits.
• This makes Facebook Watch primarily a competitor to YouTube.
• In addition, there is also commercial content, for example, documentaries from Discovery Channel.
• Smaller series are also planned in the foreseeable future.
• In addition, private individuals can also upload videos and share them with all other Facebook users.
• In addition, the platform offers a party function, which allows you to watch videos together with your friends. For this, you only need to create a group and specify an administrator and moderator.

Overall, Facebook is therefore setting itself up very contemporary with the Watch program. The success of the platform remains to be seen, but one may assume that Facebook will still greatly expand and adapt the project.
