Facebook Live adds its own screen-sharing feature

Facebook Live, the feature that allows Facebook users to broadcast live video to followers and friends, was today updated with support for screen sharing.

As noticed by The Next Web, there's now a button for sharing your computer screen when broadcasting on Facebook Live. This feature was first noticed by Matt Navarra.
