Facebook, which seems to be on an app launching spree, has rolled out 'Venue', a new iOS and Android app through which it hopes to "bring passionate fans and expert commentators together to experience live events in a new interactive way." Facebook's Venue will look to capitalize on the emphasis around live streams that has been spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic.  Venue is aimed to provide an interactive second-screen experience for live events like Twitter does naturally.
