Facebook to shut down its podcast, Soundbites and Audio Hubs, all you need to know

India TV News  

Facebook is shutting down its podcast platform next month, within less than a year of its launch as the company "re-evaluates" its audio offerings in a fast-changing world of technology. "After a year of learning and iterating on audio-first experiences, we've decided to simplify our suite of audio tools on Facebook," a Facebook spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report. The social network is also integrating its live-streaming Live Audio Rooms feature into its broader Facebook Live suite. Facebook's parent company Meta is also said to be prioritising short-video projects above other initiatives, likely due to increasing competition from popular short-form video app TikTok.
