Facebook Starts Supporting 360 Video
In September, the social media network added support for 360-degree video online and on Android devices. The company has just updated the social networking site to support complete 360-degree virtual reality on Samsung’s Gear VR. In addition, Facebook has added 360-degree support for iOS.

The service has added editing devices in Pages for uploading 360-degree video. Users will have the ability to modify the first camera position and vertical field of vision before uploading videos. There is currently a website with support and also sources for making a 360-degree video.
The Truth Is They’re Just Looking for More Ad Revenue
The company is collaborating with consumer-level camera makers like Theta, Giroptic, IC Real Tech, as well as 360 Fly to offer fast access to “publish to Facebook” options within their respective applications. This will certainly make 360-degree video sharing in between people easier and more shareable. Facebook is likely looking to bring a degree of video saturation to its users’ feeds to help its collaborations with brands like AT&T, Samsung, and Disney to add 360-degree video advertisements to the website.
