Some Facebook users are seeing the ability to launch Facebook Live directly via Facebook Camera in their mobile applications.

Sarah Perez of TechCrunch shared the tweet below, from Jose Gutierrez, with screenshots of the test, and a Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Perez that the social network was testing the feature.

Perez reported that users in the test group are seeing three tabs at the top of Facebook Camera: Live, Normal and GIF.

Clicking on the Live tab brings up a video camera icon to livestream video or a microphone to livestream audio.
