Facebook Is All Set for Becoming a Live Game Streaming Platform

Lucknow: Facebook is not only a social networking website; it also provides a wide range of other services. Aiming to provide customers with the option of using a popular game streaming platform, the business is putting out efforts in this area. According to data, more than 380 million Facebook users watch video games on the site, with about 200 million people participating in them as well. Because of this, the firm intends to transform its app into a platform for live video game broadcasting.

The biggest gaming community

The popularity of gaming, as well as related streaming services, has increased dramatically in recent years. As a result, Facebook has also enhanced its game platform by introducing new features. If this occurs, the business will not only be able to provide new customers with choices as a live game streaming platform, but it will also be able to establish itself as a member of the world's biggest gaming community as well. So that it can compete with Amazon Twitch and Google-YouTube, Facebook is developing a video-streaming platform.

Gaming itself is a core segment

Manish Chopra, Director, and Head of Partnerships at Facebook India gave a presentation on the company's first gaming event, which will be launched in India this week, and other topics. The gaming industry, he said, is a "core sector in and of itself." It is not a part of any entertainment plan in any way shape or form. Manish has said that gaming also meets the needs of those seeking amusement and that it is a unique use case in which users may engage in a variety of ways.

Creators are getting more opportunities

He claims that Facebook has pushed gaming in recent years and has made several modifications to the platform as a result of this promotion. Facebook has expanded the possibilities available to content producers as a result of these developments. 'Facebook provided venues for the accompanying artists and players, which was its general and natural extension,' he said. " Users of Facebook may also interact with game developers by providing them with tips or stars.

No plans for competing with the Console makers

Facebook does not want to compete with console-making businesses or large-scale PC gaming platforms, according to the company. It also hopes to attract casual players who sometimes wish to broadcast themselves or watch others stream. It's fun to watch your favorite players.

India is the third biggest gaming market

The social media company's primary goal is to link as many people as possible with gaming services in India via its platform. In the nation, there are more than 340 million Facebook users, and this number is expected to grow even more with the introduction of Facebook gaming. There were 23.4 billion gameplay sessions recorded in only two months this year in India alone, making it the third most active market in the world when it comes to gaming sessions overall.
