Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Facebook Gaming Creator Program ending?

Yes, the Facebook Gaming Creator Program is officially ending. According to an October 2025 announcement, individual agreements with content creators ended on October 31, 2025, with partner support being phased out and full discontinuation of the program set for 2026. Creators will retain access to some monetization tools like Stars and Badges until that final date.

Can I play games on Facebook during a video call?

Yes, you can play multiplayer games during a Messenger video call. As of April 2023, Facebook Gaming enabled this feature, offering a library of 14 free-to-play games like 'Words With Friends' and 'Exploding Kittens' that require no installation. To access them, start a video call, tap the group mode button, and then select the 'Play' icon to browse games.

Did Facebook allow streamers to use copyrighted music?

Yes, Facebook expanded access to licensed music for gaming livestreams. Initially rolled out to Partner and Level Up Creators starting September 2020, the feature allowed them to play background music from major labels during streams, provided the music wasn't the sole audio element. This was later expanded in September 2021 to all Partner and Level Up Creators, accompanied by live events like the #PlayLoud series.
