Today YouTube announced that live streaming is about to get to the official app for mobile, so the battle for this type of content begins to get more and more interesting with the Google app, the Facebook app and the Twitter app with Periscope.
Now it is Facebook that is not standing still and has also announced some news regarding Facebook Live that will receive a major update shortly. The social network already has the streaming function, but it wants to increase its capabilities with a couple of interesting features.
The first of these is the ability of Facebook Live to allow the retransmission of two people at the same time. This means that interviews and discussions can be conducted through the service. An interesting initiative for podcasters as well as non-professional streamers who want to have heated discussions through Facebook Live. In this way, other types of content can be added from the service.
The other aspect that the next update will run through has to do with the filters to faces that can be added from MSQRD, an app, we talked about not long ago, and like Snapchat, it allows you to use makeup effects on selfies in real time. A good range of options to turn those broadcasts into something more fun when we can dress behind the Batman mask, a more Japanese-style makeup or put on some of those monsters.
It will also include a space where spectators they will be able to meet while waiting for the hourly scheduled streaming to begin. The new features are being prepared to arrive in the next few months, so it won't take long before we can broadcast live broadcasts other than what Periscope or YouTube offer when you have yours ready for everyone.
