Facebook Will Challenge Clubhouse With New Social Audio Products
According to the news website Vox, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has big plans in the audio space, including a product to challenge Clubhouse, a voice-only social media platform that allows users to chat or listen in on conversations.
Facebook is expected to announce several new products today, including an audio-only version of Messenger Rooms, a videoconferencing platform designed to compete with the likes of Zoom Video Communications and Microsoft Teams; and a podcast discovery tool that will connect with Spotify Technology.
Facebook also plans to update its News Feed, allowing users to record and post audio snippets to their home page. This new format will supplement currently supported media types like text, photos, and videos.
