Mr. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of American multinational technology conglomerate, Meta Platforms has stated that the tech giant has begun testing community chats for Facebook groups on the Messenger app.

According to experts, the community chats services should be considered as Meta’s own version of Discord, a chatting application. The service will be available for Facebook groups, and users can join and participate in Facebook messenger.

“With community chats, people can connect with their communities in real time around the topics they care about, on both Facebook and Messenger via text, audio, and video. The experience seamlessly blends Messenger and Facebook groups.

Users can organize such chats into categories so that group members can easily find what interests them the most.  As admins, user can start a chat for group members around a specific topic, an event chat for an outing or meet up, a view-only broadcast chat to announce group-wide updates, and an admin-only chat to collaborate with other admins and moderators.

Users can also create audio channels, and participants have the option to enable video once they reach the audio channel.

Community chats, as mentioned so far, are only accessible to members of a group. As experts say, Facebook offers a variety of moderation tools to ensure a positive experience.
