Facebook is looking to tackle a market where it is lagging behind: streaming video games. For this, the social network has decided to seduce the streamers by giving them the necessary tools.
               
           
                             In the logic of the Creator App launched last year, which allows users to create and manage videos on the network, Facebook has announced the Gaming Creator Pilot Program. The principle here is to walk on the flowerbeds of market leaders like Twitch or YouTube. Thus, amateur or professional videographers can make live video (via Facebook Live) in 1080p and 60 fps, which was missing for the moment. Moreover, tools will be provided to them to better manage their community and especially to monetize their creation via advertising. This is the nerve of war. More than advertising, the opportunity to make live donations has also been implemented. Facebook ushered in the system on Saturday night with live games of H1Z1 with dozens of already popular streamers on the network. Facebook admits that there is still a lot of work to win in the gaming world against competitors already well established. Even if the network already hosts big creators of content, such as StoneMountain64, with a million followers. Facebook will try to seduce the public at the PAX East Conference, to be held next April in Boston.
