‘Facebook postpones the release of its own video content’

Facebook reportedly wants to hold off on releasing its own video content. According to rumors, the social networking sites already have agreements with several creators, but it has not yet finished the video environment.

This is reported by the usually well-informed Recode based on unnamed sources. Facebook itself declined to comment on the news. According to the sources, the release of original video content on Facebook will be postponed until August, but it is also possible that this will be later.

Initially, Facebook would like to start publishing its own video content on its website as early as next month. According to Recode, the delay is not related to the availability of the content, but to the fact that the video functionality on the Facebook site is still under development. For example, the company behind the social networking site is not quite sure how it should make the content available.

It is rumored that Facebook has been in talks with content publishers for months. They would have made videos in a format suitable for viewing on Facebook. It would be a ‘TV-like’ concept, but nothing else is clear about the content.
