And we’re live! </p><p>
After giving celebrities the option to broadcast live video to their followers, Facebook is now
rolling out this “Live” streaming feature to iOS users in the U.S. The Live feature allows you to record and share video in real time using the Facebook app. After Live is enabled, you will see a new “live video” option when you tap to create a Status Update.</p><p>
Once you tap to “Go Live,” you will see the number of viewers tuning in to your live stream, the names of your Facebook friends who are watching, and whatever comments pop out in real time. Facebook’s Live feature is similar to standalone live-streaming apps Meerkat and Periscope.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3011738/ios/facebook-expands-live-video-streaming-to-take-on-periscope-and-meerkat.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
