Let’s find out how it is done!

How to stream videos from Facebook to your Home TV?

Facebook’s renewed efforts to push into the living room of its users become more apparent through its new medium where it allows people to watch saved videos or live content on a bigger screen. If you believe that watching live videos on a small phone screen is nothing more than an eye-draining exercise, here’s how you can switch your experience and stream videos from Facebook to your TV.

  2. Open the Facebook app on your mobile.
  3. Go to the video you’d like to stream.
  4. Tap the video to open the video player.
  5. In the top right of the video, tap the streaming icon.
  6. Tap the TV you’d like to use to play the video.

This move comes as the company continues to try and lure content creators away from other video streaming services like YouTube in favor of its own platform.
