Facebook has extended the time limit of broadcasting on Facebook Live from two hours up to four hours. People and Page administrators on Facebook will now be able to do so in both full screen and video-only mode. Broadcasts on Facebook Live was limited to two hours initially when it was launched. Facebook introduced these features so that both the creator and the viewer can benefit from it and will be released more broadly in the coming weeks.
Users will be able to go live in full screen, meaning that if you’re doing so on an iOS device, it will go full screen in portrait and landscape mode. On Android devices, full screen mode is only supported in portrait mode, but Facebook plans to make it available in landscape later this year, says a report. The video-only mode allows both broadcasters and viewers who want to focus on the videos to temporarily hide Reactions and comments by swiping right.
Users can bring back Reactions and comments by swiping left. Last month, Facebook announced that users can go live from the face-swapping MSQRD app and utilize different Snapchat-like masks and filters while the video is running. Facebook first acquired Masquerade, the Belarusian startup behind MSQRD back in March with the intention to “continue enhancing the Facebook video experience.”
