Facebook rolls out ‘expert’ feature for knowledgeable members of groups

Facebook is rolling out a new feature to let subject matter experts stand out in groups run by millions of admins and moderators around the world. The social media giant on Tuesday announced a new way to spotlight subject matter experts in Facebook groups. The group admins will be able to recognise knowledgeable members in their group by designating them as “group experts.”

“Admins now have the ability to select specific members in their communities who stand out, empowering them to play a more meaningful role,” Facebook executive Maria Smith wrote in a blog post.

“[A]dmins can collaborate with group experts to host Q&As, share perspectives on a topic and respond to questions,” she added.
