Facebook Gaming released two new features in its Play Watch Connect framework that will allow content creators, viewers and the overall gaming community to connect and interact in different ways.

The Play With Streamer feature adds a button to livestreams that viewers can use to join a content creator in their live game, while the Facebook Interactives feature allows viewers to interact with the videos they’re watching in a number of ways.

Facebook Interactives will allow developers to add extra interactivity to their videos in the form of trivia questions, polls and more.
