Facebook Watch is Facebook's video-on-demand service that combines aspects of its video-sharing functionality with premium content. It allows creators to upload their own short and long-form videos, as well as original comedy, drama and news programs. The service is free, but requires a Facebook account.
How to use Facebook Watch? – What is Facebook Watch?
Facebook Watch is built into Facebook, accessible through the main Facebook website and the Facebook app on mobile platforms and streaming devices. It can be found in its own Watch tab, similar to the Marketplace and Messenger tabs.
Facebook Watch isn’t a cable replacement service. It’s more like YouTube than YouTube TV, in that it doesn’t feature live network or cable television. It also has a lot in common with Instagram TV, which is Instagram’s entry into the YouTube-dominated field of user-generated content.
Facebook Watch features a mix of user-generated content and professionally produced content that Facebook pays to have produced. It’s a lot like YouTube Premium, which features regular YouTube videos and exclusive original programming, but Facebook Watch is free.
