Facebook is launching their own version of YouTube’s playlists, TechCrunch reports.

Facebook now has a video tab available to all businesses that let them choose a selected video to be shown in the extra-large format with a live comment feed on their Facebook page. ABC News has this happening on their Facebook video page right now. Below the featured video is a playlist of other videos available to users to watch online.

Here is a picture of the ABC News Facebook page:
