techradar.com November 22, 2024, 08:01 PM UTC

LinkedIn will discontinue its Audio Events feature starting December 2, 2024. Users will no longer be able to create new audio-only broadcasts and must switch to LinkedIn Live, which supports both video and audio. Scheduled Audio Events will still be available until December 31, 2024. Users are encouraged to schedule any necessary events before the December 2 cutoff. This change is part of LinkedIn's effort to simplify its live event tools by merging Audio Events into the LinkedIn Live platform, which offers enhanced audience engagement features.
