Clubhouse has announced that it has evolved to look “more like a messaging app”. chat introduction, A feature that allows you to have voice-only group conversations with people you know.
clubhouse It works with real-time conversations that happen in real-time, where users can participate as speakers or as listeners as part of an audience. You can raise your hand and speak at any time with the permission of the moderators.
This platform supports two content formats. On the one hand, the rooms, where conversations take place and which can be private (with invited access), social (with limited access for those who are being followed) and public, open to any user who wishes to participate.
Clubhouse, however, admits go clubs, which work similarly to Facebook groups, in which there are creators, content moderators, club members and followers.
The company admitted that it saw a lot of activity during the pandemic, but that everything “got more difficult” with the end of restrictions, suggesting that a portion of its users stopped using the service.
Their interest would also have been dampened by the launch of new tools on other platforms like Twitter, now X, when the company rolled out its own live audio spaces, a feature called Spaces.
With the goal of improving and developing communication between users, Clubhouse has introduced a new feature called Chats, which is part of latest platform update for iOS and Android.
A chat is a voice-only group conversation space that users can have with specific contacts. In it, the speed can be increased – as WhatsApp already supports, for example, with the options x1, x1.5 and x2 – and chat privately among other things.
With this change, the company hopes to become more of a messaging app, abandoning Clubhouse’s signature sprawling spaces that collect various live-streamed conversations to encourage users to do so Join groups of people you know.
Since voice chats are the essence of this platform, the company believes that thanks to chats, stories and ideas can be conveyed with “more nuance”, although these too can be automatically transcribed and will be translated into the desired language.
Likewise, insists that while text chats only extract information from what is written, voice chats also allow users to know the mood of their friends and acquaintances express their feelings.
In this way it is explained that from now on when Clubhouse opens, the contacts of these friends who use the platform will also be displayed and not only the active live voice rooms. Once the chats are created, they need to be configured before they can be added to them “friends only” or “Friends of freinds”.
However, Clubhouse qualifies in this statement that the live rooms will continue to be “a central part” of the application and that it will not keep its one-way tracking system for clubs, but will modify it with friend requests. These are changes the company hopes to see “Be stronger in the long term” platform.
