Facebook will declare a range of products under the sunshade of "social audio", including its take on audio-chat app Clubhouse and a push into podcast development and deployment.

These procedures incorporate an audio variant of Rooms, a video-conferencing product Facebook originated a year ago. The Clubhouse-like product will let groups of characters attend to and communicate with speakers on a virtual "stage", the statement declared.

Facebook also planning to launch a product enabling its users to register brief voice messages and share them in their newsfeeds, and a podcast discovery product that will be combined with Spotify, according to the statement, which cited references.

The decision will be made on Monday but few products command not to show up for a while. 

A Facebook spokeswoman refused to explain. Spotify did not directly reply to a demand for an explanation.

Facebook began public testing of a different application dubbed Hotline ahead this month, where producers can deliver and take live questions from a conference.

This Q&A product connects audio with text and video components and appears like social media places research with a dash of new live audio characteristics.

The completion of the invite-only, year-old app Clubhouse, which has recorded 10 million weekly current users, has confirmed the potential of audio chat assistance, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Twitter Inc. has been examining its audio characteristic Spaces and Facebook is also tinkering with a live audio room presenting among the Messenger Rooms.
