Meta starts testing Community Chats for Facebook Groups in Messenger

Meta which wants to give more functionality to chats within Facebook Groups is launching its new Discord-like feature called Community Chats. Community Chats, which aims to offer Facebook's Discord-style voice chat channels, are slowly starting to roll out after testing. Nearly 3 billion users will be able to create more focused voice chats.

What are Facebook Community Chats?

Voice chats were normally available in room-shaped groups on Facebook, but these were one-time chats. So it was started once, and when it ended, there was no access. In Discord style, it is possible to join open channels whenever desired and start a conversation. That's where Facebook Community Chats come in. It is possible to create a constantly open chat channel within groups or to make audio or video calls on specific topics. Admins have the power to mute or block participants. In addition, the system can automatically filter the desired words. Facebook Community Chats, where sub-channels can also be created, will also be accessible via Messenger. It is stated that starting from next week, the distribution of community chats will begin.
