Mark Zuckerberg Is Giving Facebook Users A Copycat Version Of Clubhouse, Live Audio Rooms

Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he will be making a copycat version of Clubhouse for Facebook.

From Instagram Stories to now a Clubhouse-like feature on Facebook? On Monday, Zuckerberg announced the company would be creating an audio feature that allows users to talk amongst one another. The feature will reportedly be used within groups and be called Live Audio Rooms.

“We think that audio is, of course, also going to be a first-class medium, and there are all these different products to be built across this whole spectrum,” Zuckerberg told Casey Newton on Monday on the Sidechannel Discord server.

The feature will reportedly be available to everyone via the Facebook app and Messenger this summer. Tests for the feature will start in groups on Facebook. “You already have these communities that are organized around interests, and allowing people to come together and have rooms where they can talk, I think it’ll be a very useful thing,” he said.

Like Clubhouse’s latest amendment, Facebook will also allow users to charge others for access to their Live Audio Rooms on Facebook.

Zuckerberg is also implementing short-form audio clips called Soundbites which users will listen to on their Facebook feeds. “It basically is creating this dynamic, algorithmic feed based on your interests around different audio content that you can consume in the background but is this snackable thing,” he said.
