Voice Only Stories Have Arrived on Facebook

In this episode I share a video that you can watch on Spotify (or YouTube).

Facebook stories have a new feature that allows us to share our voice only. The captions are auto-generated and we can add static images or choose from pre-loaded animations that include the captions.
