Facebook notes that one benefit of Apple TV and Chromecast support is that it frees you up to continue browsing while the video is playing (the social network has also experimented with picture-in-picture within the app.) But relying on Chromecast and Apple TV has a few other benefits for the social network.

Namely, it means they don't need to build and support their own Apple TV or Android TV apps, which would be more work to maintain. But by adding support for two of the most popular streaming devices, they still get the added bonus of attracting extra eyeballs to their videos, which has become increasingly important to the company's overall strategy.
