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 new feature is called Live Audio Rooms, and the company expects it will be available to everyone on the Facebook app and Messenger this summer, the company said in a blog post.
The company will start to test Live Audio Rooms within 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.
