The latest Clubhouse clone comes courtesy of Discord, which introduced Stage Channels Wednesday.

Discord is a chat application that supports audio, text and video, and it has 140 million monthly active users. Its servers are invite-based chat rooms on various topics, and it is popular among the gaming set.

The platform does not sell advertising, relying on a subscription-based revenue model. Its Discord Nitro offering enables users to customize their emojis and usernames, enhance their servers and boost streaming quality and download capacity for $10 per month or $100 per year.

Discord described Stage Channels as a new type of channel for its Community servers enabling the creation of a focused conversation with select individuals speaking to an audience, as opposed to the voice channels already offered by the platform, where anyone in the channel can speak freely.
