Facebook Live with Friends : We know Facebook Live is better with friends. We’ve been working on ways to make Live more fun, social and interactive, like with the new Live interactive effects we announced last month. Today we’re excited to announce two new features that make it easier to share experiences and connect in real time with your friends on Live.
Here are some quick user-friendly tips for getting the most out of the new format.
For now, you can only broadcast live videos from Apple or Android mobile devices. To start, open up the status bar as if you’re going to make a new post. In the bottom right corner you’ll see an icon of a human figure. That’s the “Live” button.

Like Facebook’s other video efforts, live video remains confusing to access on the social network. Sometimes, but not always, you’ll be alerted to a friend or Page going live via a notification. The company is building a video portal that will collect live content from friends and personalized topics of interest on a single page in its mobile app, but it hasn’t been launched to all devices yet. Live videos will also be attached to some trending topics soon.
The most straightforward way to sample the Live videos available right now is to look at this world map that shows hundreds of streams as they’re happening. However, the map is only available on desktop for now.
Live Chat With Friends lets you invite friends to a private chat about a public live broadcast. You can invite friends who are already watching or other friends who you think may want to tune in. You’re able to jump back into the public conversation at any time, and you can still continue chatting with your friends via Messenger after the broadcast ends.
Currently this feature is only available on iOS, and look forward to making it available more broadly later this summer. If you’ve already tested Live Chat with Friends, tell us your experience in the comments below.
Live With:
Facebook also launched Live With so you can hang out together with your friends while you are Live, no matter where you are, and broadcast the video to your viewers.
1. Select a guest from the Live Viewers section, or tap a comment from the viewer you want to invite.
2. Your friend will have the choice whether or not to join your broadcast. You can go live with a guest in both portrait mode (for a picture-in-picture experience) and landscape mode (for a side-by-side experience).
