Facebook now notifies you of the live shows of your favorite celebrities
After achieving success with the videos, the social network Facebookis already betting on the next step: the directs And it seems that the retransmissions is the next logical milestone in the evolution of the contents of this social network, before reaching Virtual Reality, which they are also working on through their glasses Oculus RiftThat's why they are improving their limited streaming service, still suitable only for celebrities, journalists, elite athletes and other familiar faces
Thus, and following in the footsteps of the well-known application Periscope, which seems to have become the benchmark in the market for these tools, Facebook now notifies you in real time when the celebrity begins to broadcast live and live A feature that until now did not exist on Facebook, causing many users to lose the possibility of following the broadcast live Of course, unlike Periscope, Facebook has created a system much more comfortable and less invasive of notifications, preventing users from ending up hating the ads, the direct ones or even the celebrities who launch them.
Just press the Subscribe or Subscribe button on one of these live videos. It doesn't matter that the broadcast has already ended and the rerun is being watched. The button is still available for the user to decide follow new broadcasts in the future, even if already a follower of the page said celebrity With this, an alert is configured in the form of push notification through the mobile application of Facebook In other words, an alert notifies the user that the public person they are following is issuing Something that allows you to jump directly to the content, thus enjoying it instantly, without missing a detail and, most importantly, without having to watch who is broadcasting at all times.
And that is precisely the difference we mentioned with Periscope, since this application automatically subscribed the user to all those people who are followed, which meant having numerous notifications if a group of these issued during the same period. On Facebook, however, the user will only be notified if the subscribers broadcast , without the need to follow or unfollow the person's page. Thus, you can be aware of your posts in a non-invasive way, and receive notifications only if you are interested enough in their broadcasts to subscribe.
In any case, Facebook continues to limit its live broadcast function to public figures with some media coverage.And it seems that they are not yet ready to open this function to the more than 1, 5 billion users of the social network Therefore, for now only It remains to wait and choose if you want to subscribe to one channel or the other if you are willing to receive notifications. This feature has been released in a phased manner, gradually reaching users around the world.
