"As a result, the time that users spend on social networks and Messenger services will extend significantly. From there, we can attract a larger amount of advertising money , " the Microsoft representative said.

"Online video has really exploded and gained popularity in the past few years. But the majority of users still enjoy video clips alone. Messenger TV will change this , " he said. John Mangelaars, Microsoft's vice president of consumer and online division, is confident.

"Now, enjoying online video will be a highly interactive and community activity. Users and their friends can watch the same video clip from many different computers, bringing together the words. comment and share feelings ".

In the first phase, Messenger TV will open in 20 countries, including many European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brazil, Canada and Mexico.
