Social Media Platform Facebook has launched its podcast streaming support on the platform which will be added from June 22 onwards.
According to ANI, the company announced the upcoming feature back in April, when it said that users would soon be able to listen to podcasts directly within the Facebook app.
It is also reported that the platform is getting in touch with podcast pages via email, which alerts them about the feature which will let them connect their podcast’s RSS feed to their Facebook Page, which will automatically generate connected, playable News Feed posts for every episode published.
Followers of the page will automatically send the notification every time where’s a new episode published. Those who received the intimation from Facebook over email have confirmed that Facebook also intends to add the podcast clips feature going forward that will allow listeners to create and share the snippets of the podcast episodes.
The feature has been coming late to the platforms but it will allow listeners to create and share the snippets of the podcast episodes.
Once the feature goes live, the episodes will begin appearing on the creator’s Facebook Page, which will let listeners directly comment on the content and tag their peers to alert too. This will also make it much easier for creators to directly interact with their fans.
