Original title: Facebook will usher in a podcast service next week, allowing listeners to create a second edit source: cnBeta.COM
Facebook has announced that it will start launching its podcast product on June 22 and will add a feature that allows listeners to create clips from their favorite shows.According to the content of the official emails sent to creators, program hosts can link the RSS feeds of their programs with Facebook, and then Facebook will automatically generate news feed posts for all new content subsequently released.
The related program list will appear on the “Podcasts” tab, but it seems that it is not online yet. However, in a broader announcement issued in April, the company had already announced in advance.
Earlier this month, Podnews also mentioned June 22 for the first time, but it was initially open to a limited number of creators.
But judging from the emails sent to other creators, the scope of the initial launch may be wider than initially expected.
Facebook said in an email: This will be a podcast gathering place for people to enjoy, discuss and share each other’s hobbies.
For podcast programs published on the platform, you can also choose to accept Facebook’s podcast terms of service. As a relatively standard agreement, it does not explicitly limit the rights of creators.
However, Facebook still asks publishers for the right to produce derivatives, which may be necessary for programs distributed in certain formats, but other podcasts that focus on IP protection also need special attention.
In addition to the option of distributing programs through Facebook, the company’s Podcasts service also allows creators to open up to the audience for up to 1 minute to create a second edit, in order to effectively increase the popularity of the program and the participation of the audience.
Going forward, Facebook may also explore the potential of introducing advertising for Poscasts (similar to Spotify).
