What’s Changing?

According to LinkedIn, the Audio Events feature will be integrated with LinkedIn Live, effectively ending the independent use of audio-only streaming. As part of this transition, users won’t be able to schedule new audio events after December 2, 2024, though previously scheduled events will proceed as planned until the cutoff date.

Why the Decision?

Launched in 2022, LinkedIn’s Audio Events feature quickly gained traction as an alternative to platforms like Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse. It provided professionals with a space to host interactive discussions, webinars, and networking sessions in a simple audio format. Despite its popularity, LinkedIn likely decided to streamline its offerings by merging similar features for a more unified user experience.

By combining Audio Events with LinkedIn Live, the platform aims to offer a consolidated solution for event hosts, blending audio and video streaming into a single, more versatile tool.

What Does This Mean for Users?

For professionals who relied on LinkedIn Audio Events, this change could signify a shift in how they interact with their audience. While some may embrace the integration with LinkedIn Live for its added visual capabilities, others might miss the simplicity of audio-only sessions.

Conclusion

As LinkedIn continues to evolve its platform, this move highlights its focus on delivering integrated tools for its users. While the standalone Audio Events feature may be ending, its essence will live on through LinkedIn Live, offering a fresh way for professionals to connect and share insights.
