To connect more people on Facebook Live, the social network giant has announced a new feature that will let users go live with another friend for a collaborative broadcast.
The feature was previously available to public figures, but now it is rolling out wide, allowing users to argue or chat with friends in a Live setting. The company also announced the ability for live-streaming users to start a direct message with one of their viewers so they can have a private chat during the broadcast.
The camera effects platform includes two products: Frames Studio and AR Studio. Frames Studio is an online creative editor, now available globally, that allows people to design frames that can be used either as profile picture frames or in the new Facebook camera.
AR Studio, now open for beta applications, can be used to create masks, scripted effects, animated frames and other AR technologies that react to movement, the environment or interactions during Live videos.
