Social media site Facebook has announced it is launching a video streaming service for all users.
Facebook Watch is seen as a rival to the likes of YouTube and Netflix.
It was launched in the US a year ago, but has now been rolled out globally.
The company says this is "to give people a place on Facebook to find shows and video creators they love and to start conversations with friends, other fans, and even creators themselves."
It says it has added a number of changes and updates to the service.
This includes making it easier to see which videos friends have liked or shared.
Fidji Simo, head of video at Facebook, says: "Every month, more than 50 million people in the US come to watch videos for at least a minute in Watch - and total time spent watching videos in Watch has increased by 14X since the start of 2018."
"Taking Watch global also means new opportunities for creators and publishers around the world.
"We're expanding our Ad Breaks program so more partners can make money from their videos, and we're offering new insights, tools and best practices for Pages in Creator Studio".

Videos will be in a personalised Watch feed, with a 'Watchlist' - a collection of recent videos from pages a user follows - at the top.
People can also save videos to watch later.
Facebook users can access Watch on iOS and Android through the icon in the shortcuts bar or the 'More' bookmark.
