Facebook Wants You to Get Your Friends Involved in the Facebook Live Experience

Live Chat With Friends is being tested, and Live With is now available to profiles and pages via iOS

Facebook Tuesday introduced two new features aimed at enabling users to easily involve their friends in their Facebook Live videos and video viewing: Live Chat With Friends and Live With.

The social network is currently testing Live Chat With Friends, which enables users to have private conversations with friends during their live broadcasts, without having to leave the Facebook Live interface.

Facebook said in an email to Social Pro Daily that it expects the feature to be available to everyone “soon,” and product managers Erin Connolly and Fred Beteille added in a Newsroom post that Facebook Live videos spur more than 10 times the comments of non-Live videos.
