Facebook Video app for Xbox

In a surprise move, Facebook has just launched an official Facebook Videos app for Xbox One consoles.

The Facebook Videos app is free to download and requires users to log in with their Facebook account to watch their own uploaded videos, view livestreams, or discover new videos based on their own interests. Here’s the official app description.

Facebook Video App for TV. Watch the best Facebook videos on your TV. Watch videos from friends and Pages you follow, top live, and recommended videos. Or revisit videos you’ve watched or shared on Facebook. Enjoy it all, with the new Facebook video app for Xbox.

Most Facebook users will likely prefer to view the usual viral videos on the mobile apps but the Xbox One Facebook Videos app could become the preferred way to watch live streams. What do you think? Would you ever watch Facebook videos on your Xbox One? Let us know in the comments below.
