Right now, if you have an iOS device, Facebook's new feature will let you stream videos from your mobile phone or tablet through Apple TV or Google's Chromecast and onto your TV. Facebook says it is working on an Android version which would be available soon.

To watch a video from Facebook on your TV, you just have to select the video, press the TV symbol at the top right corner of your screen, select the device you want the video to stream to, and enjoy.

The new feature will also let you stream a video to your TV and still go through your News Feed. You can even stream a Facebook Live video, complete with all the real-time reactions and comments on your screen. You can also join in those conversations directly from your phone.
