Facebook Live Audio Rooms Launched for Creators, Public Figures, Groups Globally

Facebook is launching the Live Audio Rooms feature to a global audience. The feature, launched in the US in June, works similarly to Clubhouse. Users can listen and join live conversations with public figures, experts, and others. Facebook recently added a podcast feature in the US, and it is testing the Soundbites feature.
