We’ve grown used to
watching, sharing and commenting on videos on Facebook, but despite the
interaction, it’s largely a solo experience. Facebook is hoping to change that with
Watch Party, a feature that allows members of groups on the social network to
view videos together at the same time.
Watch Party works by getting
one or more hosts to start and control a stream of live or recorded videos,
inviting others to watch and comment.
Facebook says it could
be useful for Q&As about hobbies, tutorials, and group-based activities
such as exercising. And even though it can’t be used outside of groups or Pages
right now, Facebook believes it will eventually bring friends and family
together for shared experiences.
Note- But to use the feature you must own one group.
Following Steps To Use Watch Party Option of Facebook.
Step 1: If you run a group, you’ll now see the Watch Party
option in the status update box.
Step 2: Select it, click Add
Video and find content that you want to ‘Add to Queue’.
Step 3: Once you’re ready,
Click Done, write a status and invite people to join.
The profile pictures
of those watching will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Step 4: When the stream has
finished, the videos watched during the Party will be saved in a post, with the comments and
reactions stripped away.
So by following this
steps, you can watch videos live with all your group members and enjoy the
party.
