Facebook Live now has a screen sharing tool

Previously, you needed 3rd party software to share screens on Facebook Live, but now this tool has been integrated in Facebook.

In the tweet of the user Matt Navarra, when livestream on Facebook , the option to share the screen is in the right column, just below the FaceTime Camera section with the button with Share Screen recording .

When you click on Share Screen, a dialog box opens asking you to install the Facebook Screen Sharing utility on your browser. The Next Web page says this option is only available on Chrome, not Firefox.

Then, while you're sharing the screen , you can select the app, the specific tab on the browser or the screen. Previously, users still had to resort to software such as Open Broadcaster Software to share screens when broadcasting livestream with Facebook.
