News Summary

Substack has announced the launch of an audio-only livestream feature aimed at providing a less intrusive and more comfortable way for publishers to engage with their audience. This feature allows publishers to livestream without using video, offering a lower-pressure environment and the option to remain anonymous if desired. Users can toggle the camera on and off during the stream, and listeners can comment and subscribe as usual. The audio-only mode expands on Substack’s livestreaming capabilities, which were made available to all publishers earlier this year.
