According to Report, Facebook will unveil a slew of "social audio" items on Monday, including its take on audio-chat app Clubhouse and a drive into podcast discovery and distribution.
These plans include an audio version of Facebook's Rooms video-conferencing service, which debuted a year ago. According to the paper, the Clubhouse-like product would allow groups of people to listen to and communicate with speakers on a virtual "stage."
According to the article, which cited sources, Facebook will also introduce a product that allows users to record short voice messages and post them in their newsfeeds, as well as a podcast discovery product that will be linked to Spotify.
The announcement will be made on Monday, but some items will not be available for some time, according to the source.
A spokesperson for Facebook declined to comment. On Sunday, Spotify didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Earlier this month, Facebook began public testing of a new app called Hotline, in which creators can talk and take live questions from an audience.
The success of Clubhouse, a year-old invite-only app with 10 million weekly active users, has shown the potential of audio chat services, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
