Description
### Checklist before submitting a feature request
- [X] I've updated to the latest released version of the SDK
- [X] I've searched for existing [Github issues](https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues)
- [X] I've read the [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
### Goals
Embed Facebook video/live stream feed into tvOS. tvOS currently supports no WebView so accessing video via iframe or other web based embed is impossible. With Facebook discontinuing tvOS support for Facebook Watch with the only current solution being to use an Apple device to AirPlay is unacceptable as a full time solution and is a frustrating work around at best. When watching live video, should you close the app, view other content on your device or even sleep the device on occasion, the AirPlay/Stream fails.
### Expected results
At a minimum, ability to access live content or video feeds without use of web view for tvOS apps via the SDK.
The ability to search, determine live status, or view/query all VOD of specific content creators/profiles would also be nice but the main ask here is access to those feeds first and foremost.
