Ujjwal Singh, Head of Product at Workplace, said video broadcasts have become one of the more popular use cases on Workplace as enterprises use the platform for deliver broadcasts.
The latest batch of Workplace updates revolve around making it easier to view broadcast segments on demand and engage with employees. “Our new Q&A experience pulls in whoever asked the question into the broadcast,” said Singh. “Whether it’s a 100 person or 1,000-person group it can be a personalized experience.”

Another new feature revolves around Video Chapters to make it easier to watch videos on demand and skip to key parts. Using machine learning, Workplace divides events into chapters for easy recall and navigation. Singh said that Facebook’s internal Q&As with CEO Mark Zuckerberg are viewed live by anywhere from 45% to 75% of the company. When replays are included, 90% of the company is tuned in.
