Facebook is trying to develop its services in order to become the most popular website on the Internet in many aspects. Currently, Facebook no longer focuses only on communication between users, but platform hopes for massive profit from game market or streaming. Using the already developed user base and developed video viewing services, company came up with an interesting idea regarding watching of videos together by people with using of their Facebook accounts without the need to meet in the real world.

We received official confirmation from heads of Facebook that firm tests feature named "Watch Videos Together". Users who have access to it can now use Messenger to watch clips together with people from their friends list. What's important, users can only watch videos added to Facebook webpage. App then shows information who is currently watching video, and users can also comment video in special section located next to video. As for now, the new feature is in the testing phase, so we have to wait for the information whether it will be permanently added to the Messenger.
