- No need to use third party apps.
- It’s easy to use.
- It’s built into Facebook, and it’s free.
- Less lag time than third party apps.
- Cannot switch between camera and screen sharing.
- No fixed logo or graphic overlays. Other apps have the option of including your logo, or other graphics to appear on screen. Facebook does not.

- No picture in picture mode. When sharing your screen, you don’t have the option to have a small video of yourself in part of the window.
- Videos quality isn’t the greatest.
