Facebook launches Watch Together for Messenger to let you watch videos with your friends

Facebook has launched Watch Together, a new feature that lets you watch videos with your friends and family together over Messenger video call and Messenger Rooms. You can also watch the reactions of your friends through the live video. The feature is free and rolling out for Android and iOS users globally this week.

Watch Together works with all Facebook Watch videos including live events, shows, sports, news or music videos. Facebook says creators can also leverage the new feature to engage with their community real-time. Messenger Watch works with up to 8 people on a video call and up to 50 people in Rooms.

To use the new feature, users need to start a Messenger video call or create a new Messenger Room. Then, swipe up to enter the menu and choose Watch Together.
