Facebook unveiled its own game streaming platform, fb.gg, also known as Facebook Gaming. The rene initiative, on a single page with the characteristic layout of the social network, is broadcast live by gamers from all over the world. The new platform was unveiled on Thursday (7) and can now be accessed at facebook/gaming.
Fb.gg arrives to complement all the other resources aimed at streaming games launched by Facebook until then. Since January, the social network has been testing a series of novelties with the proposal of becoming attractive to those who produce and consume this type of content.

The website dedicated to lives brings a concept already seen in other platforms of this type, such as YouTube Gaming and Twitch. The real-time broadcasts are displayed on the home page, in addition to the games that are currently featured. Fb.gg also brings a list of suggested gamers to follow on Facebook, in addition to being able to bookmark the games of your choice to receive notification whenever you have any live streaming from them.
The difference is due to the integration with the social network. All alerts of new transmissions arrive as a notification on Facebook, which should help fans not lose lives.

Along with fb.gg, Mark Zuckerberg's social network has also launched a way to help gamers monetize videos. Called Facebook Star, the feature will allow fans to send money to content creators through virtual purchases, all directly through Facebook, without having to go through third-party services like Patreon or Padrim.
Facebook Star is only available to participants of the Level Up program. The initiative offers subscribers, in addition to the new form of monetization, early access to new features created for streamers. To participate I need to register with Facebook Gaming Creators (facebook/fbgaminghome/creators).
