Facebook launches a game streaming platform with donates and gifts

The company Mark Zuckerberg decided to compete with the platforms Twitch and YouTube, giving streamers the opportunity to do what they liked, without leaving the social network. To do this, Facebook experts have created a new gaming platform that allows you to stream games directly to the news line, "TechCrunch reports.


The streaming function not only adds the ability to broadcast the game on the page, but also has a number of other advantages. For example, viewers will be able to pay players for the spectacle, provided and the opportunity to give gifts to visitors to streams. For example, developers or streamers will be able to embed an advertising message in the window with a link, for which everyone will receive an in-game item.

Facebook will also add other functions to its streaming service. For example, using the improved Facebook Friend Finder application, you will be able to search for team-mates for the game and see the statistics of those players who want to join the session. Demonstration of the key characteristics of the characters of players who want to connect to the online session will allow to decide in advance whether it makes sense to call them in the next "batch" or better politely ask them to retire.

Developers who want to access the Game SDK can complete their application by this link .

Despite the fact that Facebook has a huge number of users every day, not all of them play video games, so the question of whether the innovation will become a serious competitor to YouTube or Twitch is still open.
