LinkedIn Expands Audio Events To All Users

LinkedIn is expanding audio-only live events, first introduced in January in a beta test, to all users who have Creator Mode turned on.

Audio-only live events are LinkedIn’s answer to the success of apps like Clubhouse, and features like Twitter Spaces.

They were always open for all LinkedIn users to listen to, and now all users who turn on Creator Mode can host their own audio events.

In an announcement, LinkedIn states:

“Audio Events are a great way for creators to authentically connect with their community. When you host and attend an Audio Event on LinkedIn, your profile comes with you, allowing you to follow and message with other speakers and attendees who are also listening and engaging in the same Audio Event as you.”

Creator Mode is available to all LinkedIn users who meet the following criteria:

An audience base of more than 150 followers and/or connections
Recent share of any type of content on the platform
A good standing record and a history of abiding by community policies.

In addition to audio events, Creator Mode grants access to live video streaming, newsletter publishing, profile videos, and post analytics.

Since its launch in March 2021, LinkedIn says 5.5 million users have turned on Creator Mode, which has led to a nearly 30% increase in content engagement by users.
