Facebook Live, the real-time video streaming feature designed to compete with Periscope and Meerkat, will soon be available on Android — two months after making its debut on iOS.

Users in the U.S. are getting the feature first, but Facebook promises it will reach more countries soon.

Google’s focus on gaming grows even greater today, with the company rolling out a new Play Games update that lets Android users record and share gameplay clips directly to YouTube. Players can even add face-cam footage and commentary.

YouTube Gaming, the gameplay streaming platform that arrived in August to take on Twitch, now allows paid subscribers and the ability to broadcast content directly from Android devices.

Meerkat, the video streaming app that has made quite a name for itself on iOS, is now officially available on Android. It’s still in beta for now, but anyone can download it via Google Play and begin broadcasting to their Twitter followers.

I have a confession to make: I own a BlackBerry Z10, and I love it. I think its BlackBerry 10 operating system is terrific — it’ll be even better when it gets more apps — and I haven’t been this excited about a new platform since I got my first iPhone. Seriously.

I certainly don’t want to see BlackBerry sinking anytime soon, then.

But I can’t help but wonder whether BlackBerry might have just shot itself in the foot by announcing BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS.
