Facebook will roll out its Clubhouse alternative Live Audio Rooms in the United States on Monday, The Verge reports. The audio chat feature should be available in more countries at a later date.
The app allows people to listen and participate in live conversations. The new feature is initially only available to organizations and public figures from the United States.
From Monday they can open a ‘room’ to talk to up to fifty people. Unlike competitor Clubhouse, there is no maximum attached to the number of people who can listen in.
Live Audio Rooms will be added to the current Facebook app. For now, the rooms can only be set up by Apple users. However, both iOS and Android users can participate in the conversations.
It is not yet known when the feature will be released in the Netherlands.
