Facebook Announces Live Commenting for Videos
(Facebook Introducing “Live Commenting” for Videos)
Facebook just launched a new feature called Live Commenting. This feature is for videos. People can now comment while watching videos on Facebook. These comments appear directly on the video screen. They show up in real-time as people watch.
This feature works during live broadcasts. It also works on regular videos people watch later. Viewers see comments pop up over the video itself. The comments appear at the exact moment they were written. This makes discussions feel more connected to the action.
People can react to specific moments instantly. They do not need to wait until the video ends. Friends can share thoughts together as things happen. The feature aims to make watching videos more interactive. It feels like talking with friends while viewing something.
Content creators get new tools too. They can see these timed comments on their videos. This helps creators understand what parts viewers like most. Creators see which moments spark the most conversation. This feedback is immediate and tied to the content.
The feature is simple to use. Viewers tap the screen while watching a video. Then they type their comment as usual. The comment attaches to that exact point in the video. Other viewers see it when they reach that same spot later.
