In the initial phase, Facebook's live streaming feature will be available only for a select few people in the US and that too for users with iPhones. The company have plans to bring the feature to all the users in the near future.
Launching the new feature, Facebook wrote on the blog: "Live lets you show the people you care about what you're seeing in real time - whether visiting a new place, cooking your favourite recipe or just want to share some thoughts."
Facebook's streaming will display the count of live viewers, names of friends who are watching and along with real-time comments.
In the past one year, Live Streaming on Smartphones have become quite popular. While Amazon paid $1 billion for live streaming game site Twitch, Twitter's Periscope & Meerkat have been ruling this segment at present.
