Following requests from members of its community, Clubhouse has released a few updates. The social audio app on Thursday announced the Share on Clubhouse and Web listening features to enable members of its community to enjoy more benefits on its platform.
The Share on Clubhouse (plus Clip +Share Counts) is an easy way to spread word about great rooms. The new feature will help people on the platform discover great rooms that are happening in distant parts of the hallway — and to have their rooms get discovered by others.
Here is how it work: Now when you tap the “Share” button at the bottom of a room (or Replay), you’ll see three options: Share on Clubhouse, share via a social network, or copy the link to share via a messaging app. If you select Share on Clubhouse, you’ll be able to add a comment (e.g., “This person is rapping people’s bios and it’s insane”) and then share it with your followers. They’ll see this room in their Hallway and, if the room is live, also be notified that you shared it so they can come to join you.
Sharing on Clubhouse is going to be one of the best ways to let your friends know about great rooms.
Clubhouse said, “With this release, we’re also giving creators more tools to understand how their rooms are doing by launching Share and Clip counts at the bottom of the room — and the beginnings of a new Room Insights page. To start, creators will only be able to see the shares of their room, but we’ll be adding more insights over time.
“Version one (read this is just the beginning) of both of these features are starting to roll out to iOS and Android this week, so make sure to update your app!”
The other feature, Web Listening allows anyone to listen to a Clubhouse room from their phones or laptops, without needing to download an app or log in! To start, it will work for both Replays and live Rooms with Replays enabled and will include support for most major browsers. It will be rolling out as an experiment in the U.S.
“We are so excited to kick off 2022 with this update, and we hope that it gives you more ways to find great rooms, get discovered, and have fun with your friends on Clubhouse,” Clubhouse added.
