How does the Clubhouse work?
The Clubhouse is based on audio, with several chat rooms of predetermined duration. There are no photos or videos, except the profile pictures of each person.

Most of the time, the environments are defined by themes, but it is possible to create free spaces, to call friends and talk about various subjects.

In larger events, a moderator controls the flow of the conversation and you can ask to speak with a “raised hand” emoji. There is also the possibility that only the creator of the room will speak.

In smaller rooms, all participants can keep the microphone open, if the moderator allows it.

The limit for listeners is 5,000 simultaneous people, there is no option to record conversations, and they are not stored within the platform – except when a user reports some abuse of the terms of use, according to the app.

How to get an invitation?
For now, the Clubhouse is only available for iPhones and you must have an invitation to enter.

Those interested can download the app and enter a waiting list, which is synchronized with the cell phone contacts. If a friend is already inside the platform, he can allow access to the network.

Clubhouse is a social networking app for audio chat just for learning, launched in 2020 by Alpha Exploration Co. In December 2020, it was valued at almost $ 100 million. On January 21, 2021, an assessment reached $ 1 billion.

The Clubhouse has progressed in generation after an interview given by Elon Musk to GOOD TIME. The app was not used in Germany until January 2021, when two German podcast hosts Philipp Klöckner and Philipp Gloeckler started a chain of invitations in a Telegram group, bringing German influencers, journalists and politicians to a platform. In February 2021, the Federation of German Consumer Organizations asked Alpha Exploration to give up what it called “illegal business practices and data protection violations”.
