Facebook has announced the launch of a new podcast function distributed automatically from the social network itself, which will be available from Tuesday, June 22.
RSS is a format that allows you to easily and automatically link periodically updated content
Authors will be able to link the externally generated RSS feed of their podcasts to their own personal pages within the social network, so that Facebook automatically generates a post in that user’s newsfeed on the social network, both for the first publication and for the following publication. .all successive, each time a podcast is published.
The podcast episodes will be broadcast on a new tab (which still doesn’t appear on the web or in the app) and as a first step, Facebook is reaching out to some podcast creators to include them in the first phase where this feature will start working, which will then be expanded to other users.
In its terms of use, Facebook, with very generic terms, does not establish too clearly certain aspects related to what the social network can do with such content. He does point out that Facebook can generate derivative content from the podcasts it publishes, which would help distribute them and make them available in other formats, but this is an aspect that could raise sensitivities among some creators of podcasts regarding respect for their intellectual property rights.
In addition, Facebook will allow users of the social network clip making with your favorite podcast fragments, one-minute fragments that, according to the social network, will help the visibility of said content, as happened on Twitch with the short fragments of the videos published on said platform.
The addition of podcasts from Facebook user pages itself shows the social network’s commitment to audio content, after the upcoming inclusion of audio rooms with which it will integrate a feature that has become very popular after the rise power of the clubhouse platform.
