0Report Facebook is bringing its Watch streaming video service to India next year.
After launching its episodic video streaming service in the US in August, Facebook is gearing up to bring Watch to India sometime between January and March next year, reports The Ken.
The service includes shows that span lifestyle, comedy and children’s entertainment content, as well as live sports events. Still in its early days, it’s open to a small pool of creators and viewers on the platform, and can be found in a ‘video’ tab in Facebook’s mobile, desktop and TV apps; each show also gets its own Page that fans can follow for updates.
The move could help propel Watch skyward, as India has more Facebook users than any other country on the planet; in July, the social network was reported to have 241 million users there, while the US trailed behind with 240 million.
