Facebook has allowed users to watch news feed videos on their televisions with a new feature that lets them stream video clips.
Users with iOS devices can stream their videos via Apple TV, AirPlay devices, Google Chromecast and Google Cast devices, Tech Crunch reported on Tuesday.
The move can help Facebook generate more video ad revenue.
To use the new feature, find a video on your phone or desktop, tap the TV button in the top right and then select the device you want to stream through.
“You can keep scrolling through the feed and using Facebook while the video continues to stream,” the report added.
The feature is currently available on iOS and will come to Android devices soon.
YouTube and Twitter-owned Periscope already allow users to stream their videos onto televisions.
You can scroll through your news feed while you are watching the Facebook video on TV. This lets you catch up with other stories on your mobile device while the video is streaming on the TV.
“If you’re streaming a Facebook Live video to your TV, you can see real-time reactions and comments on the screen, and you can join in the conversation yourself by reacting or commenting,” said the Facebook blog.
