New Video Features For ‘Facebook Watch’
Facebook has created new video features, which will make it easier for creators to build an audience and allow users access to more video content. These features are a part of “Facebook Watch”, but have now become accessible to all Facebook page admins.
The features include a Playlist Update, Series, New Videos tab, and updates to Bulk Uploader.
The Playlist Update allows page managers to segment their videos into groupings so that users can tap through related videos in a section, and share collections of videos at once.
The Series feature was created as an expansion of playlists, except it showcases more scripted videos. This allows users to organize into episodes and seasons, which can organize videos chronologically.
The New Videos tab is a feature that focuses on separating videos into groups. It also allows users to follow specific pages and update their video notification settings accordingly.
Lastly, the updates the Bulk Uploader allows for up to 50 videos to be uploaded to a page at once. Facebook will also be implementing new editing tools as a part of this feature.
Get ready, Facebook is taking steps that will seemingly send lots of new and improved video content our way!
