Facebook has launched a new platform "Watch" for viewing video in a separate window, which will make it easier for users to access video clips that are not included in the news feed and their discussion with friends, the company's press release says. According to The Guardian, it will be a video showcase.

Today the new function is available for a limited number of American users. It is noted that those bloggers who create unique content for the platform will receive 55% of advertising revenue.

The new platform will compete with Youtube.

Watch will be available on mobile devices, computers, tablets, as well as on Facebook's TV app.
