On Wednesday, 7th of April, Facebook ran a beta test of Hotline – a feature that takes advantage of the current trend of audio-based social networking apps.
Facebook has only major rival, Clubhouse.

Hotline function based on the theory of Q&A sessions. Creators communicate with an audience who can ask question and provide inputs.
On like Clubhouse, a fully based audio-only platform, you can ask questions in Hotline using text. The main aim of Facebook creating Hotline is to help users enhance their corporate and professional skills.
A Facebook spokesperson told AFP:
“With Hotline, we’re hoping to understand how interactive, live multimedia Q&As can help people learn from experts in areas like professional skills, just as it helps those experts build their businesses.”
Hotline’s Interface

Another key feature of Hotline is that speakers can invite a listener onto the stage area, where they start up a conversation similar to audio or video conferencing.
When Will Hotline Be Officially Launched
The one in charge of Hotline’s development team is Eric Hazzard who also created the Q&A app tbh, that Facebook bought earlier. Facebook’s NPE Team is also helping develop the Hotline app.
