Facebook Watch is comprised of shows (live or recorded) with episodes that follow a consistent theme or storyline. This includes video series like a weekly cooking show, a daily vlog, or a fictional comedy. Facebook claims that the new video platform will allow creators to find an audience, build a community, and earn money for their work. So far, it has 400 million users who view content at least for a minute per month.

Currently, the majority of video content is provided by the likes of Vox Media, BuzzFeed, ATTN, Group Nine Media, etc. Facebook is even funding some shows (including Huda Boss, Five Points, Sacred Lies, and Sorry For Your Loss). It is focussing on several youth-focused news and entertainment creators to produce shows (both scripted and unscripted). Other options include a parenting show from Time and a safari show from National Geographic.

The free video hub is now available on both desktop site and Facebook Lite. The ‘Watch’ tab has been added next to the ‘Messenger’ tab. Here’s How To Use Facebook Watch To Find New Shows & Videos
