Facebook launches Live Audio Rooms and Podcasts feature. The company announced Live Audio Rooms on Monday as a competitor to the Clubhouse app. Facebook has also launched a podcast feature as another audio product.
Facebook initially made these features available only to iOS users in the United States. Verified public figures or manufacturers will be able to use this feature.
In which 50 speakers and listeners will be able to sit in the live audio room created by them. The company plans to unveil the feature for all Americans within this week, and will gradually make it available to users in other countries.
Like Clubhouse and similar audio apps, Facebook's Live Audio Rooms design looks similar. The host of the event can be seen in the round-shaped profile icon at the top, while the speaker and listener can be seen in the small icons in the middle and bottom of the screen respectively.
The active speaker in the audio room is indicated by a glowing ring on the profile icon. There's also a 'raise a hand' tool to request a speech in the audio room.
Subscribers can also send a 'star' to support the host or creator in the live audio room. Like other live content on Facebook, these stars can be purchased during conversations and used at any time.
The audio room also has the facility to share content from the news feed and group posts. Another new feature is that hosts can also raise money from speakers and resources.
Similarly, for a Facebook group, the admin can control the moderators, group members, and other admins to create a live audio room. Although both members and visitors can access and listen to the public group, a limited number of users have access to the private group.
Facebook users can find out about new Live Audio Rooms through News Feed and Notifications.
Similarly, the company's podcast feature has been made available for some creators. Under this, you can start a podcast by entering the RSS feed of any program or show and some relevant data without uploading any link or file. Plus, your podcast can be unpublished or deleted at any time.
If you're interested in longer audio, you'll be able to listen to the podcast directly on Facebook. Podcasts will appear based on a topic of interest to you, which can be shared and commented on, along with other content on social media.
In addition to podcasts, users will also be able to insert voice clips into Facebook's News Feed. With this feature, you will be able to capture anecdotes, jokes, inspirational moments, poems, and many other things we haven't even imagined yet in the form of short and audio clips and put them in Facebook's News Feed.
The company expects users interested in Adia to stay on Facebook as the company brings this feature to listen and listen to podcasts in the app with Live Adia Rooms. In fact, with these features, Facebook wants to compete with popular social media apps Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, and others.
