The website also said some Facebook pages and profiles can post and watch 4K videos. Video hosting platform YouTube has been working with **4K video** since 2010 with 4K live streaming rolling out last year. Facebook already supports 4K resolutions in its **live 360 videos** . The push to higher resolution video comes after considering Facebook’s push into original content with several original shows coming to the Watch tab.
