This new feature is called Facebook Live and it allows you to literally stream live content onto Facebook directly. That means no third party app or trying to get people to your website. People are already spending time on Facebook, so reach them where they are at!

Here’s a few reasons why Facebook Live is going to be a great tool for you & your company:

  1. Facebook Live is available to anyone and everyone. You don’t have to have any special credentials to be able to start a stream. Just the confidence to go ahead & do it! Originally, Facebook Live was only for verified pages, like celebrities, but now everyone has access.
