The new Sound effects work simply. While live, creators see a music note icon on their screen. Tapping this icon opens a menu of available sounds. There are different categories of sounds to choose from. These include things like applause, drum rolls, and cartoon effects. Creators pick the sound they want. The sound plays immediately for their viewers. This adds fun moments or highlights key points during the stream.
Facebook wants to help creators express themselves better live. Sound effects offer a quick way to add energy. They don’t require extra equipment or complicated setups. The feature is designed to be easy to use. Anyone going live on Facebook can try it. The goal is to make live broadcasts more interactive and entertaining. Viewers hear the sounds in real-time alongside the video.
The Sound effects are rolling out now. They are available to users worldwide. People using the Facebook app on Android, iOS, or the web can access them. Facebook plans to add more sounds over time. The company listens to feedback from creators. New sounds will likely come based on what people want. This update is part of Facebook’s ongoing work to improve Live.
