Facebook to roll out a new feature next week

Facebook, the world’s largest social media platform, is planning to roll out its podcast product next week, on June 22, 2021, and, add a feature that will allow users/listeners to create clips from their favourite shows.

According to a report, Facebook has informed the owners of the pages about this feature by sending emails and the company is offering page owners the ability to upload podcasts, which will begin four days later, on June 22.

If you are running a page on Facebook, you can link to the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed of podcast episodes on the page, which will gradually appear on people’s news feeds. With this feature, all listeners will be able to share their favorite moments of a podcast episode with their friends on the news feed.

“Facebook will be the place where people can enjoy, discuss, and share the podcasts they love with each other,” says the company’s email.

This is not an unexpected announcement from Facebook as the company plans to go for a feature called Soundbites, which will live within the News Feed really soon. Users should understand that this will be a feature of voice messaging in Facebook timeline.
