It’s Facebook’s world. We’re just living in it, and soon, watching it on TV.

As part of a larger announcement about its other video offerings, Facebook revealed that it will soon launch a TV app for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Samsung Smart TVs.

With so many other streaming apps available for smart TV users, this is Facebook throwing its hat in the ring. It could just be a play to rack up video views, but it’s also another option for creators to leverage yet another platform in hopes of becoming a standout star.

Facebook says the new app will let users “watch videos shared by friends or Pages you follow, top live videos from around the world, and recommended videos based on your interests.”
