And a great audio experience is one that allows you to feel immersive and intimate at the same time. No matter how far away you are, the audio experience It makes you feel like you're in a room with friends and family, 'says the significance of developing an audio-based service.

◆ Audio creation tool
One of the audio-related features that Facebook is building is a new audio creation tool. Facebook plans to provide tools that make it easy to edit audio data, just as photos and movies can be easily edited on smartphones. As Facebook continues to invest in technology to convert voice data to text, it seems that it will also introduce transcription capabilities into audio creation tools. Furthermore, with the progress of AI, it will be possible to magically eliminate noise even with voice data recorded on noisy street corners. Other features include mixing audio tracks, adding sound effects, voice effects, and filters.

◆ Soundbites
Facebook plans to build a new social audio format, Soundbites, that will allow you to save a variety of inspirations such as stories, jokes, and poems as short audio clips. Soundbites will be testing for a small number of creators and will improve the product before it is available to all users.

◆ Podcast
In order to focus on sharing longer audio data as well as short audio clips like Soundbites, Facebook has announced that it will be able to listen to

◆ Introduced live audio room on Facebook and Messenger
Testing has been done to bring live audio room functionality to both Facebook and Messenger. The live audio room feature for the Facebook app will be released by the summer of 2021. A similar feature will be introduced for Messenger, and the feature will be implemented around the summer as well. The live audio room feature will be initially offered to public figures, allowing them to talk to other public figures, professionals, fans and more. This live audio room is the closest to the voice SNS Clubhouse, as it allows users to gather and discuss in an audio room created by the host.

All of these audio-related features work together and are designed to be accessible to everyone. For example, you can podcast what you say in the live audio room, or share some of the conversations you find in the live audio room or podcast on Soundbites.

In addition, the live audio room will allow the audience to send Facebook stars to the host so that creators can make money using these features. Facebook also notes that it is considering selling access to live audio rooms on a subscription or buy-out basis. In addition, Facebook has announced the introduction of the Audio Creator Fund to support new audio creators at Soundbites.

Clubhouse, a live audio room counter-service, has announced that it has removed multiple rooms and user accounts for conversations that violate community guidelines such as racism and hate speech. Therefore, we can see that it will be important to tackle similar issues in Facebook's live audio room.

We shut down a number of rooms found to be in violation and, where appropriate, issued suspensions and removed users indefinitely.

All forms of racism, antisemitism, hate speech and abuse are prohibited on Clubhouse and are a direct violation of the Community Guidelines. Https://t.co/fc18zGGUAJ
