Surely you have heard the name Club House by now. The buzz that this new social network has created has prompted us to talk about it and see how it works with Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is like eavesdropping on another person’s phone call; of course, it is done legally and with everyone’s consent.
We will take a unique look at this issue and see what the Clubhouse has for us. You may wonder why there is so much discussion and controversy about the Clubhouse. One of the examples has been the controversies related to Gamestonk, in which Elon Musk was also involved to some extent.
In January 2021, Elon Musk, who sometimes holds the title of the wealthiest man in the world, drew a lot of attention to this service by appearing in one of the clubhouse rooms. Bill Gates did the same thing, and it spread to other important people.
What is a clubhouse?
Imagine you have an app on your phone that allows you to listen to other people’s live conversations. But this is both legal and scary. These people themselves like to be heard and may even be famous or successful people who intend to share their information with different people.
Of course, there is no guarantee, and an utterly worthless rum may have been formed in the Clubhouse. This opportunity may be given to all or some people who enter the room and join the chat. Sometimes you will have the chance to speak, and sometimes you will be the only listener.
When was the Clubhouse launched?
The Clubhouse was launched in the United States with the spread of Covid-19; therefore, March 2020 was the first time it was noticed worldwide. Partly due to the different way of working with the Clubhouse and its invitation, many initially complained about the complexity of its membership.
This membership was like being in a club; only a select few could partake in this great deal. For this reason, many people thought that they were essential people who had the opportunity to attend the Clubhouse.
In the early days of this social network, we were faced with a small community in which mainly venture capitalists were present. After all, the company behind the Clubhouse is Alpha Exploration Co., which received $12 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz after two months of operation.
This capital quickly increased in value to 100 million dollars, while this social network had only 1,500 users then. The final evaluation carried out by April 2021 has estimated the importance of this social network at 4 billion dollars and will probably grow more soon, like other social networks.
First, know that there are no photos and videos in the Clubhouse, and you only face the users’ profile photos. To get Clubhouse, you can quickly get it for iOS and Android, and there is no limit. This program was initially provided only for iPhone phones, and there was also an unofficial version for Android. Later, the full Android version of this program was made available to users worldwide.
This program is not yet optimized for iPad; therefore, you can work with Clubhouse in a small window. There’s also the weird 2x zoomed-in size that doesn’t make for a great experience. The method of working with Clubhouse on Android tablets is problem-free and optimized.
How to work with the Clubhouse and registration
By passing through the invitation letter of the Club House at the beginning of your journey, it is better to know that this social network no longer needs an invitation, and you are honored to be in it. Anyone with an iPhone or Android smartphone can access the Clubhouse.
The app now supports 14 live languages (English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Canadian, Korean, Malayalam, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, and Tango), and there are even automatic subtitles in these languages. You can use
Therefore, you only need to attend the Clubhouse to download the app. The official site of this social network is available to you with the address clubhouse.com and joinclubhouse.com, and you can use them to do a series of tasks. It is better to know that none of these sites have ROM access.
Roms are only available to you with iOS or Android apps, and you will have the relevant information on your phones. These apps are your only way to listen or participate in audio conversations. Keep in mind that you should distinguish this social network from clubhouse.io. This is a project management system that is out of our discussion.
Creative logo and app icon
The Clubhouse has an official logo but doesn’t use it (a hand wave) on the app icon. In the application icon, we see a black and white and continuously rotating portrait of a person, which is used to display on the smartphone screen.
Every person is an actual user of Club House, and his face is placed on the program icon. Usually, this shows that people are significant on this platform, and Clubhouse believes that people should deeply understand what they are doing. Each icon remains unchanged for a few weeks. Then, someone else takes his place with an update.
Some people have praised the Clubhouse for this design choice and for breaking the tradition of monotonous designs. But some others think that finding the right app in different stores will become more complicated with these icon changes, and users will need clarification about choosing which is the original app.
Icons have previously been social activists and visual artists such as Drew Kataoka, and there have also been musicians. Other options include Axel Mansour, Bomani X, Erica Bautista, and Spray Dora, each of which plays an essential role in our world.
Clubhouse’s access to your data
You must introduce your phone number and real name to register on this site. This is the case in theory, and then a link is sent to you via an SMS saying you need to open joinclubhouse.com/app and enter your phone number.
If you don’t want to set up a profile, you can link your Twitter account to Clubhouse. Even your existing Twitter profile picture will be displayed, and you can use it as your Clubhouse profile picture. Clubhouse even requires you to reach out to your contacts and send them an invitation link.
This is what all social networks do to make finding your contacts and friends easier. If you do not have an influencer on your contact list, this access will not cause any problems. In the continuation of working with Club House, we know that after logging into the system, you will confirm your email address with this service; in case of a problem, have it as a method to reconnect.
This is the same method that other social networks have provided in case of a problem with the user account so that you can recover your user account. Account recovery is made faster, and you must be careful when entering the information.
What are we going to listen to in the clubhouse?
When you are finally granted access, the app is filled with various conversational topics
that will introduce you to follow. You can follow and access global affairs and news from sports to multiple technologies. Twitter-like categories are very diverse and help you quickly find your favorite rooms in different languages.
You can choose the people you want to follow and follow your interests. You won’t have a problem following any room unless it is private and only certain people can connect.
There are suggestions for you too, and based on your search feed, you can see ROMs you’ll likely like.
Are conversations permanent?
First of all, there are many chat rooms, and you can access them. Many people have created them, and users have been commuting between them. This system causes many rooms to be completed and empty when the conversation ends. This system changed in November 2021 with the release of the Replay system on Android and iOS.
The creator of the rooms could record any conversation and then display it in their profile or club. Then anyone can download them and listen later. This possibility is provided for you just like the podcast, and many users welcome it.
If the manufacturer doesn’t enable the Replay feature, the sound will be fleeting like on the phone, and only then will you be able to listen live. However, users still find ways to bypass it and record conversations. The Clubhouse is developing over time, and to compete with other social networks, it needs to provide custom features to users.
When you learn how to work with Clubhouse, you will encounter a feature called Clips. This feature allows anyone in a public room to create and share a 30-second clip of a conversation taking place there. With this clip, they can develop a kind of advertisement for Rome that will make people eager to join Rome. Clips were released for iOS in early October and will probably be released for Android soon.
Is the working method with Clubhouse similar to a podcast?
The answer to this question depends on your podcast setup. Remember that everyone active can talk through their smartphones and cannot see each other. So, it’s really like listening to a phone call.
There are no edits, and they are presented without sound effects, transitions, and without ads. At least officially, there is no advertisement in the program; Unless the owners of the rooms themselves want to use audio advertising to generate income. As mentioned, the style of conversations in this social network is flexible. A Roman may arrange an occasional one-on-one interview between friends.
Although, in other rooms, it is possible to have more formal interviews in the form of a talk show or to hold a considerable group discussion as much as a music forum. A conversation-sharing session may lead to exciting events. For example, it is possible that a billionaire, an inventor, or a celebrity came to Rome and appeared as a public speaker.
In this situation, the conversations will be more exciting, and the reactions will be spectacular. Regarding session types, Clubhouse has another feature in the form of music mode, which is perfect for musicians who use this platform.
They can use the service to jam with others or to host concerts. The result is higher quality stereo sounds and the possibility of using professional audio equipment such as USB microphones, and musicians can also use mixing boards. First, this feature was released on iOS, and users can access it through the three-dot menu and the path “Audio Quality > Music.”
Note that the program currently caps the program at 8,000 per room; however, this limit is sometimes disabled at Clubhouse’s discretion, and the platform has announced that it can also form rooms with more than 700,000.
What is the use of the Wave system?
Users can be the only listener. If needed, you can raise your hand and speak if you are permitted to tell by the room manager. It depends on the type of ROM and its manufacturer, and there may be special conditions and rules for them.
If you want to use the Clubhouse for a casual conversation with a small group, you can do so through the Wave system. With Wave, you can create temporary rooms and chat with other people using the app simultaneously.
This app allows anyone to create rooms, and there are no restrictions for that purpose. You can even access various functions such as recording Roman conversations, replaying them, and more. All the conversations worth keeping can be saved in this way and used in the future.
The similarity of the Clubhouse working method with Zoom
Of course, from some world, we can always compare Clubhouse to Zoom or Google Meet. Of course, this system has no video, and we only have sound. However, Zoom meetings are not available to the public by default, and clubs must find members themselves before adding them to the room.
There is also a limited virtual dice that people can raise in the Zoom application if they have something important or exciting. Also, looking at the camera is a point that you should pay attention to because the conversations are visual, and this is not the case in the Clubhouse, and your work will be more accessible.
Direct and chat in the Clubhouse
You can still chat the old-fashioned way by typing with your finger. The Clubhouse has a chat feature called Backchannel, where users can communicate directly. Even if they are all active in the same Clubhouse, they can chat with each other while the room is happening or after, and there is no limit to this.
Roman speakers can use this service to receive feedback from their contacts. You no longer need to chat via Signal, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger. This possibility is provided in the program, like normal chat, and it is good quality.
With the help of the Backchannel system, you can also have a message box suitable for sending message requests. You can access it through the icon in the shape of an airplane located at the bottom and right side of the program or by swiping to the left with your finger and accessing this section directly. This feature has made Clubhouse perform better in competition with Facebook and Twitter.
In the future, we will add more features to it. Of course, the ultimate goal of Clubhouse was that people would never need to leave the Clubhouse program and use Backchannel for this purpose. This system will later support sending images and videos.
The method of generating income from the Clubhouse
Interestingly, Club House has enabled it to generate income with its platform. In cooperation with the Stripe payment processing company, you can follow your business and income plan on iOS. This system is currently available for US users, and you can make money from it as a content producer.
This system is not based on advertising, and users can have an in-app payment for content creators and be sure that 100% of this money – like Donate – goes to the content creator, and Clubhouse does not take any commission. The Stripe platform has also announced that it does not profit from transactions.
The company has also launched another program called Creator First, which helps people to use the traffic of their contacts and have everything from equipment to special guests and advertising in the system—launched the scheme in May 2021. Reports initially said that the results were quite different.
Users use advertisements differently, and making money with Club House is implemented through these innovative methods. You also have permission to use the high volume of your contacts and generate relatively good income with it. These earnings can be deposited into your account in different ways.
Why do we use Clubhouse?
Currently, Clubhouse is the best option for people who like to talk and have a heart for mucusThe gap is tight. This need was more felt during the Corona era, and since there was no opportunity to be in the crowd, the Clubhouse had become an excellent method for this purpose. Famous people and celebrities also welcomed this platform and became active in this field.
People who want interesting conversations can use this platform to talk with friends and acquaintances. Of course, you should note that we are facing a new social network that we should be careful about.
As we said, sometimes there are rums in the Clubhouse that are political and even in the middle of a war between two countries so that they can find a solution for peace. There are also discussions between beliefs and religions in which you must decide whether to participate.
The more control you have when entering the rooms, the healthier you can get to know how to work with the Clubhouse. The platform administrators have also tried to control the rums and fully respect its red lines.
Clubhouse competitors; Similar platforms
When you use Clubhouse, you probably keep thinking about what other platforms have tried to compete with. When a platform becomes successful, more media and applications compete with it. For example, Mark Cuban is an example of someone who intended to compete with Clubhouse on Fireside.
This platform was a hybrid of Podcast Clubhouse, Spotify, and Anchor, aiming to gain popularity to serve all of these platforms. Many venues now have made it possible to make money if you have a lot of followers, and soon Club House plans to make it possible for people with a lot of followers to make money.
The Telegram messaging app has now added voice chat functionality and even provides integrated recording. Users can seamlessly turn their groups into a group voice chat and talk with up to 30 people.
Instagram had previously created a group live-streaming feature called Live Rooms. This feature has now been improved, and more than two users can have live videos with each other. We also have the Reddit platform, which previously tried to measure the number of voice conversations in a community with a Reddit Talk feature.
Spotify also had a feature called Green Room, which was built on the technologies of Betty Labs and still exists. This app is available on Android and iOS and can provide a live audio experience to enthusiasts. You can be present in music from any of these systems.
Anyone can be a host or a casual participant. Spotify also supports recording conversations so that you can listen to them later. Slack Huddles was also one of the first platforms to offer voice messaging for live discussions.
This meant enthusiasts could have online phone calls with colleagues on the Slack platform. Therefore, this platform is not a direct competitor to Clubhouse because the public audio was not broadcast and was only available to the colleagues of a group. Of course, we should remember Facebook in this regard. By creating a Soundbites feature, this site made it possible to post audio conversations alongside the podcast and had a series of live audio ROMs.
Facebook can challenge Clubhouse through Since Clubhouse is specially designed for this possibility, it is difficult to have a strong competitor in the market. Because most platforms work for another purpose, online voice chat is only a part of their services.
Is it possible to create custom plugins?
It is possible that users can produce extensions of this platform exclusively. But it takes work. Because they must be familiar with the API application programming interface, this possibility has been provided for developers, but since the way to work and experience with Clubhouse has not been available in this short time, it is not so easy for users to create an extension for it.
For example, Direction can help you analyze conversations, costing $50 per month. This plugin was initially problematic by exposing other users’ information to everyone.
There are a few other tools that add sound effects to online conversations and provide the possibility of recording conversations for Telegram and the possibility of asking questions. There is also a series of link shorteners specific to the Clubhouse, and there are many programs to add a loop to this program. Addons allow you to change the color of your avatar, and these are just a few examples of addons that make working with this platform even more enjoyable. The API system of the site will probably be optimized, and it will be possible to create plugins more easily.
Weaknesses of the Clubhouse
The service has previously had problems with Romani plans around hate speech and political abuse and was therefore forced to issue guidelines for social moderation. These new rules will be implemented in October 2021, and one of Clubhouse’s mistakes was that it needed to allow users to behave aggressively.
This caused many users to be wrongly placed in this filter and unable to display their emotions on this platform. Anyone can be on this platform, and many experts believe the clubhouse policies are a bit strict.
In February 2021, this platform was also filtered in China. Because the country’s government needed to be more successful in the freedom of expression of this program, and by not agreeing to Clubhouse for changes in this country, it caused that this platform could not be used legally in this country. Among the other bad points of the story, we can point to a third-party developer who created an Android version of Clubhouse and unofficially made it so that it did not require an invitation to join.
This service has had this legal violation before, and such developers could quickly produce fake versions of this program. We have already said that the changes in the application icon make it challenging to identify the official application in the stores.
Clubhouse privacy
Privacy is one of the problems that Clubhouse faces. Experts have reported that Clubhouse does not specify how long it keeps recordings of different users or who else can access them. The Clubhouse also obtains other information about its users that may be misused.
The information you share on your profile is available to your contacts and other social networks, and people from different platforms can easily access it. There are always tricks that, like cookies, can receive and store your personal information.
Delete Account User
You used to have to email support@alphaexplorationco.com to delete your account. But following extensive user complaints, you can now go to Settings > Account > Deactivate Account and deactivate your account.
If, after working with this platform for a while, you think that it has a problem with its nature and you cannot devote your time to it, before deleting the program, be sure to deactivate your account in it so that there will be no problem with your identity and personal information in the future. Do not create This law also exists for other social networks, and it is better to keep the safety tips in mind.
Why is the Clubhouse so famous?
Clubhouse owes its rapid growth to a few proven strategies that other platforms have used in the past. The startup founders of this program decided from the beginning to think about the appropriate timing of its launch and advertising to increase downloads and attract more users.
This program was introduced in March 2020. At the same time, many countries enacted home quarantine laws due to the spread of the Coronavirus and did not allow people to interact with each other, attend events, and have more entertainment. It was at this time that Club House was introduced as an alternative way for users to interact with each other and was able to gain high popularity.
Some early users spent hours on this platform in different rooms and used its glamorous features. These activities were carried out without unique action and were beyond other social networks. During a global pandemic, everyone was looking for comfort and human connection, which is why Clubhouse grew.
The platform founders decided from the beginning that more private users would be able to use the app and send invitations. This became a reason to introduce more and more Clubhouses to the world community. The founders intended this system to provide a safe space to talk to their colleagues in Silicon Valley.
Many facilities and welcoming users
This fledgling platform was able to host more members by expanding its facilities and welcoming more users. Forbes also reported that the Andreessen Horowitz investment company valued the platform at $100 million when it was only a few months old.
At that time, less than 5,000 people were present in the beta version of the program, and potential users were asked to register through the Google form and wait for an invitation. According to The Wall Street Journal and CNBC reports, some of the company’s partners helped Clubhouse attract other key demographics.
This new demographic included blacks, comedians, and other cultural leaders. This company has recently announced that it will pay content producers to create pages similar to Tik Tok and Snap-on on this platform and have continuous activity. This approach has also brought criticism. In a recent article, strategist Chris Lubin wrote, “if it weren’t for black users in the clubhouse, we might never have seen the platform take off.”
The app is also growing well outside of the United States and has reportedly been installed 5.5 million times worldwide and is used by many users. We know that approximately 42% of app downloads are in the United States, 16% in Japan, and 10% in Germany.
Disadvantages and problems of the Clubhouse program
The Clubhouse is in a difficult phase of its growth and development. This platform has a short life and is still popular among interested users. But at the same time, careful studies show that the males’ high growth and massive influx of users have faced adjustment policies, and the reason is unclear.
The company’s leaders have been criticized for not investing more resources, and other things like creating rooms for police harassment or hate speech have always been charged. The company now allows reporting specific people to identify unauthorized spaces and block errant users. However, it still needs to be made clear how many people or what systems will be automatically removed from this program.
Users, particularly women and people of color, have reported concerns about anti-Semitism, misogyny, cyberbullying, spreading misinformation about Covid-10, and harassment. Clubhouse says that any hate speech and bullying are against the platform’s guidelines, and offending users will be irrevocably removed.
If the Clubhouse can monitor the rooms more and pay attention to the volume of criticism, we will see the Clubhouse gaining strength again. This platform should state why users are removed from this site and resolve existing doubts. In this situation, the volume of criticism subsided, and, like other popular platforms, it can continue its high growth.
Is the Clubhouse safe?
The nature of freedom in this platform may provide a polar atmosphere in social networks, and some people seek to abuse this situation. Everyone is asking themselves whether Club House and the like are the following outlets for fraudsters.
Experts believe that social networks will become a space where fraudsters seek to spread lies, marginalize, and present divisive and hateful political views. Clubhouse’s parent company did not directly respond to users’ requests for comment on the matter, but some rules and guidelines have recently been announced that will improve the platform.
For starters, we can mention the real name and identity in the service so that you can’t enter the rooms anonymously. Some speculate that an incognito mode may be added to the platform in the future, and those incognitos won’t be allowed to speak in any Rom. Members of this platform cannot abuse, bully, extort, discriminate, harass or threaten violence.
Members who encourage others to share private information will be banned. Talking to other users out of rudeness also requires a report; if found, they will be prohibited by Club House.
Block and report users to prevent abuse
People can go to the desired user’s profile, click on the three vertical dots icon, select the Block option, and block abusers. Blocked users can no longer see the ROM you create. Even in rooms where you are a moderator or speaker, it will not be displayed for these blocked members.
The Clubhouse also adds an exclamation mark next to someone blocked by numerous others. Clubhouse promises that your identity as the person reporting a user will remain anonymous. Irene Koehler, who is an expert in the field of personal branding and teaches as an assistant professor at the University of San Francisco, says in this regard:
“Wherever there is a critical mass, and many members operate around it, there will always be people who try to use the system’s rules for their nefarious purposes. I recently created a form called Women in Business 40+, specifically for women in business under 40.
Many participants in this room are over 40, which shows that the rules set for Clubhouse or any other platform do not require compliance, and one should always be careful about the abuse of different people. “Clubhouse is not the only platform facing the challenge of properly identifying people spreading hate speech and misinformation, and we’ve seen it before.”
Differences between Clubhouse and other social networks
The main thing that separates Clubhouse from social networking sites is its audio-based format. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram may also have a side feature for this feature, but Clubhouse has been released specifically for this purpose.
The company providing this platform also explains that the environment without a camera, where only sound plays a role, provides users with exceptional media. The company states on its website: “You don’t need to worry about eye contact, what you wear, or where you are.”
He continued: “You are recognized by the tone of voice, the tone of voice, and the emotions you convey through your voice, which allows you to pick up on nuances and create a uniquely human connection with others. You can also challenge each other and have difficult conversations with each other. Frequently, we can empathize with sound, which draws most of us to media.”
last word
We know that the way to work with Club House has become much easier than in the first months of its launch, and now you can download its Android or iOS applications and join it without the need for an invitation. The Clubhouse system works differently from other social networks, which is why it is more popular.
Can clubhouse conversations be recorded?
Yes, this possibility is provided for the ROM creator, who can record the conversation and display it in his club or profile. After that, anyone can download and listen to it.
How is income in the Clubhouse?
The Clubhouse is not ad-based; users can pay in-app for content creators. This amount is like Donate and goes to the content creator. This system is currently only active in the United States of America.
Does the Clubhouse have the ability to type chat?
The Clubhouse has a chat feature called Backchannel so that users can communicate with each other through direct messages. At the same time as the ROM is active, you can also chat, and there is no limit in this field.
