Facebook Will Pay Publishers to Livestream Video in New Hub

Platform takes aim at YouTube, Periscope

Facebook has created a video hub that will roll out in the coming weeks for its flagship mobile app. According to a TechCrunch story, a button for the hub will receive prominent placement in the Facebook app and often highlight live video—though it will offer recorded clips as well.  

TechCrunch also reported that news publishers will be paid to stream live video via the hub instead of their own websites. No other details of that plan were provided.
