Facebook’s Watch Party feature allows users to watch videos together in real-time and interact with each other through comments. This feature is especially useful for independent filmmakers or anyone trying to promote their video content.
To host a watch party, first access the groups section on Facebook. Watch parties can be initiated inside of any group, so choose a group you manage or are a part of. Click the three dots on the right side of the post and select “Watch Videos Together” to start a watch party.
Add a title to your watch party and a status update to invite people to join. Then, click “Add Video” to choose which videos to watch. You can choose from recommended shows, see what your friends are watching, or search for videos you’ve posted on your Facebook page publicly.
Once you’ve added videos to your watch party, you can extend the party by adding more videos to the queue. You can also see who’s viewing your watch party and interact with comments.
When you’re ready to end the watch party, click the three dots and select “End Party.” The watch party will be posted to your group so others can watch the same videos.
Overall, hosting a watch party on Facebook is a great way to get people to watch your video content and interact with each other in real-time. Give it a try and see how it works for you!
