Facebook is coming soon to your
television as if you already didn't have
enough Facebook in your life now
Facebook is about to launch an app for
watching news feed videos on your living
rooms big-screen TV the app will be
available on Apple TV Amazon fire TV and
Samsung Smart TVs to start the idea is
that you can kick back and watch all the
videos from people and groups you follow
but also see videos that Facebook may
recommend to you this news isn't so
surprising Facebook is on a mission to
make more money from video commercials
and become an entertainment destination
and to do that Facebook is even
developing its own original shows that
means Facebook's biggest rivals are now
YouTube and Netflix but the big
challenge is to get you to wants to come
home from work turn on the TV and binge
watch Facebook in the meantime the
social network has another plan to get
you more engaged with video and you're
not gonna like it if you have the volume
up on your cell phone all those Auto
playing videos that you scroll past in
your feed will now have the sound on and
plane automatically for everyone nearby
to hear at least you can turn it off in
settings I am Bridget Carey and will
always keep you updated on the latest
