Facebook has introduced Instant Video to its Messenger platform. Just tap on the video icon in the top right corner to start sharing real-time video. Video will float over the active text conversation that you can continue while viewing the video.
Recipients can watch your video stream and share a video back if they decide. While the function is mostly suited for personal conversations, it is also suited for customer service functionality, particularly for small businesses.
Instagram Stories is a new feature that lets you share the moments of your day. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format as a story.
You can bring your business’ story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed.
