Facebook's New Button Placement Makes Live Video Incredibly Easy for Mobile Users

Just 2 taps needed

Facebook users started noticing Wednesday night that the company had placed its live video button in an extremely accessible spot on its mobile app. New York City chief digital officer Sree Sreenivasan was one of the first to notice the button where "Status" once appeared. 

Multiple Adweek employees are also now seeing the button, and it appears to be slowly rolling out to users as a top-tab feature on the mobile app.
