People love watching other people play video games, a phenomenon which has flushed ad revenue to gamers and their streaming platforms alike, and this move shows that Facebook wants in on the action.

Facebook has 1.65 billion users browsing the network every month who can stumble into watching Live video after they see it on their feed.
