Facebook launched its Watch video service in the United States on Thursday as it vies with YouTube for video advertising revenue.

Watch, which began testing earlier this month, allows users to find TV shows based on what their friends are watching, and have conversations with other people watching the show during an episode.

The service will include content from Vox, Buzzfeed, Discovery Communications, A&E Networks, and Walt Disney’s ABC, as well as live sports such as Major League Baseball.
