Facebook launches Watch video service in the US

Facebook has launched a new video service, named Watch, in the US market that offers creators the opportunity to post shows or series.

Introducing Watch, a new platform for shows on Facebook

One of the things that makes watching video on Facebook truly special is that it has the incredible power to connect people, spark conversation, and foster community. On Facebook, videos are discovered through friends and bring communities together.

As more and more people enjoy this experience, we’ve learned that people like the serendipity of discovering videos in News Feed, but they also want a dedicated place they can go to watch videos. That’s why last year we launched the Video tab in the U.S., which offered a predictable place to find videos on Facebook. Now we want to make it even easier for people to catch up with shows they love.
