As more and more clips invade news feeds, it's becoming clear that Facebook isn't kidding about focusing on videos (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3027044/internet/as-video-surges-facebook-considers-a-dedicated-service.html), and now the social network's making it easier to watch them on the big screen. Facebook recently announced (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/10/a-new-way-to-watch-videos-from-facebook-on-your-tv/) that users can “cast” videos from iOS devices or a web browser to an Apple TV or any other AirPlay-enabled device, as well as the Chromecast and Google Cast-enabled devices.</p><p>
Soon Android devices will also be able to cast videos to Chromecast. Facebook didn’t announce a specific date for when this feature will roll out to Google-powered phones and tablets.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3131524/home-tech/facebook-adds-apple-tv-and-chromecast-support-as-video-push-ramps-up.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
