New Updates to Online Events

COVID-19 has abruptly changed the way that people, communities, and businesses are able to connect. We’re continuing to see many people bring their services, experiences and events online to engage their communities, and in many cases, replace lost revenue.

Facebook’s products have always helped bring people together online. Now more than ever, it’s important we help communities, businesses, and creators do this as easily as possible. As a result, we’re continuing to invest in making it easier to host events online on Facebook by introducing feature updates.

We’re continuing to make the online events experience more flexible and powerful, making it easier to create events, and adding new options for privacy, recurring events, and event editing. In addition, we’re continuing to roll out the option for event creators to host their events using Facebook Live, or Messenger Rooms, which enables event participants to get together in a community video call format.
