On 21 May 2020, they added post creation on the said app. This allows users to create and publish content using the mobile app. To further help users understand their tools, Facebook launches a video series on product development.
The first of a series is an interview hosted by Jeff Birkeland, Facebook’s Head of Creator & Publisher Experience. The title of the video is Creator Studio App + Publishing on the Go with Jen. Jen Lee is Facebook’s Product Marketing Manager of Creator Studio. The video was published on Facebook Media Page. It’s about why users should go for the Creator Studio app and what it’s for. Jen enumerates the benefits of the app:
- Create and publish content from scratch using a mobile phone.
- Control posting as a Page not as a profile to avoid an error.
- Convenience toggling a house of features like comments, insights, and messages in a consolidated package.
- Access specific video metadata features like description, title, and thumbnails on your mobile app.
