Clubhouse Debuts Share on Clubhouse, Begins Testing Web Listening

Clubhouse introduced three new features Thursday: Share on Clubhouse, Share Counts and Web Listening for Replays. The social audio application was downloaded 2.6 million times last December, up from 1.8 million last November. Share on Clubhouse enables users to share a room to their hallway and alert their followers that they have done so. When users click the Share button at the bottom of a room or Replay, they will now see three options: Share on Clubhouse, Share via a Social Network or Copy Link (so it can be shared via a messaging app). If Share on Clubhouse is selected, the user can add a comment and share to their hallway, where their followers will be able to see the room. Followers will also be notified. Clubhouse wrote in a blog post, “The best part of Clubhouse has always been the community. From helping each other find jobs or significant others, to raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity, you all go the extra mile (kilometer) to support each other. One of the pieces of feedback we’ve heard most is that people need more ways to discover great rooms that are happening in distant parts of the hallway—and to have their rooms get discovered by others.” The company added, “Sharing on Clubhouse is going to be one of the best ways to let your friends know about great rooms. In an NBA Fan Club room and an athlete just jumped up on stage? In a room about a new NFT project and the artist made a surprise appearance? Share it so that your followers can drop in and check it out.” Creators on Clubhouse will now be able to see how many times a room is Shared or Clipped, providing them with context on the performance of their room. Clubhouse said more insights will be added over time. Share on Clubhouse and the new counts are rolling out on Android and iOS this week. Clubhouse will also begin testing Web Listening in the U.S., enabling people to listen to Replays or live rooms with Replays enabled on the web, whether or not they are signed into the platform. Replays will also be accessible via major browsers, and users will be able to listen to Clubhouse directly from their computers or smartphones. Clubhouse wrote, “Now that the holidays are over and people are heading back to school and work, we’ve also been hearing about the need for web listening. Fortunately, an intrepid team started to explore this very feature at our hackathon last month. And beginning this week, we’re ready to share their work (read: There will be bugs so please report them) with all of you.” The company added that if the test proves successful, Web Listening will be expanded to cover more countries and room types, as well as other parts of the Clubhouse experience.
