Facebook is continuously building new experiences to connect creators and communities. With the popularity of the Clubhouse app, the platform started beta testing audio rooms in Taiwan last May. Last June, Facebook officially launched live audio rooms and podcasts. Today, Facebook expands live audio rooms availability.
Starting today, Facebook brings audio rooms to all verified creators and public figures globally. The profile picture of audio rooms hosts will be visible on top of newsfeeds. Live audio rooms will also be available in Facebook Groups where the admin decides who will be the host. Soon, it will also be available for Android and desktop.
