Facebook Tests Shopping Area in Gaming Hub
(Facebook Tests A “Shop” Section In Facebook Gaming)
Facebook started testing a new “Shop” section inside Facebook Gaming. This test is happening now. Facebook Gaming is a popular place for watching live game streams. The company wants to see if viewers like buying things while they watch streams.
The new Shop area will show products related to the games people watch. Viewers might see game controllers, headsets, or even t-shirts. Items will appear directly below or near the live video stream. People can click on products they like. This takes them to a seller’s website to buy. Facebook is not handling the sales itself.
This move helps Facebook make more money from its Gaming section. It also helps streamers and sellers. Streamers might get a cut if viewers buy through links on their streams. Sellers get a new way to show their products to gamers. Gamers find gear they might want easily.

Facebook hopes viewers find the shopping useful. They tested it with a small group of users first. The company is watching how people use the Shop section. They want to see if it makes watching streams better. If the test goes well, Facebook might add the Shop to more streams later. This could change how people shop for gaming gear online.
