Facebook Streaming Now Live On Battle.net
Blizzard has released an update to its Battle.net client that allows users to sign in with Facebook and stream game footage directly to the social-networking platform.
The update was originally planned for a July release, but it apparently hit a snag along the way. Regardless, it's available now. Take a look at the video below to get an idea of what you can expect from the functionality.
Our Take
Hey, that's pretty slick! Facebook may not be the most obvious destination for game streaming, but it's definitely a good start. And even the most mundane Overwatch match is bound to be more interesting than the latest political hot take from some weirdo you went to high school with.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
