Facebook will support live audio

Facebook Live is not limited to video.

According to Facebook users will not always go live video; Sometimes they just want to hear audio. That is now possible. Facebook sees it as an opportunity to live, even in areas where coverage is less. Precisely in those areas go live video is not always an option because there is not enough available bandwidth. However, some topics are better suited to an audio report.

The new feature will be tested in the coming weeks with several partners, including the BBC. Starting early next year, will also feature other users.
