What is a club house? | What is the efficiency of CLUBHOUSE?

 This voice-based iPhone app is only for invitations, such as listening to someone else's phone call, legally. Here's what you need to know about Clubhouse, including how Elon Musk formed in its recent rise.

Don't know why you hear so much about Club House lately? Just like the Gamestonk controversy, we can blame Elon Musk to some extent. Attending a clubhouse room in January, the world's richest man (now) paid much attention to the service. (Bill Gates has done just that recently.) Here's what you need to know about the dedicated chat program that everyone is talking about.


What is a club house?

Imagine you have an app on your phone that lets you listen in on other people's live conversations. But this connection is not illegal at all !! These people want to be heard. Even celebrities or at least people may be aware (however, there is no guarantee). And you may be given the opportunity to join the chat. Imagine being a voice chat social network. And this program only has profile photos for each user and no other photos and videos in it.



Where can I get the Clubhouse app?

 Clubhouse is currently only available on iOS. Any iPhone user can download the app, where you listen to conversations and how to participate. You need to access an invitation from users in the Clubhouse. Each new user receives two invitations and receives more invitations using the app. Ask your friends if they have one. You can buy an invitation via eBay or pay a chain of "pay it forward" invitations, but beware of scams, it may be best to wait for the clubhouse to open.


Can I use Clubhouse on iPad?

Sure, but not optimized for iPadOS. So you can use this app in a small window, or view it in a weird size and double magnified. But it is only available for iPad and is not available for other tablets that support Android. As you can see in the chart below.



Can it be used for Android?

An Android app is being developed. But developers want to slowly increase their scale and look around the world for more Android or iPhone users. Still hitting 3 million users in the short time it did is unbelievable.

The only website the company owns is joinclubhouse.com, and it merely points to the Apple App Store. (Do not confuse this service with clubhouse.io. This is the project manager.)


How much of my information does Clubhouse require for registration?

You must give Clubhouse your real phone number and name. Before you are even invited, you can register your final username for the service. The person inviting you needs your phone number. You will receive a text link telling you to visit joinclubhouse.com/app and sign in with that number.



If you do not want to set up a profile from the beginning, link your Twitter account to Clubhouse. It can even import your existing Twitter profile photo. Clubhouse also helps you connect your contacts, making it easier to find people to follow. If you do not have a large contact list, do not bother. After logging in, verify your email address with this service so that in the event of a problem, you can use it as a way to reconnect.


When was Clubhouse launched?

Clubhouse (with COVID in the US!) Launched in March 2020. This was a big problem because of the monopoly of inviting only members of some clubs in the real world. In those early days, it was a very small community that was mostly troubled by venture capitalists. After all, the company behind the clubhouse - Alpha Exploration Co. After two months in office, he received $ 12 million in funding from Anderson Horowitz. It quickly became worth $ 100 million - and had only 1,500 users at the time. More investors now have access to it, even if it is still access only to invitations.



When you finally have access, the app offers a page full of conversational topics to follow, from sports to technology, world affairs to faith to "crowds" and more. You will find the same thing in any interested person and you can follow them. The more topics and people you follow, the more likely you are to get suggestions for a room that fits your needs.


Conversations are not permanent?

Chat rooms come and go with people starting or ending. Maybe nothing was recorded by Clubhouse. But users are finding many ways to record chat. We hope that the house club will never allow this and will not allow users to record ongoing calls. All conversations in this program are in the hands of those who created that call. Ending that call is also in the hands of the same users.


How many people can be in a conversation?

The current limit is 5,000 people per clubhouse room. Users in that chat room start live on YouTube, which is said to be a clever way to record items. It is better to start the call in the program and finish it in the same program if you have the security of the program.


What do you really mean by conversation?

It depends on your call settings, but remember - everyone involved is talking on their iPhones, not on the phone's fancy audio settings, they don't see each other, so it's really like listening to a phone call. There are no professional edits, sound effects, transitions and ads (at least not officially). The "style" of conversation is said to be flexible: one room may be occasional solo between friends, while the other room is a more formal conversation-style interview, a large group discussion, or even music - session Sharing If someone enters and needs to speak, the room creator / host can put them on stage as speakers.


So can I just listen?

not necessarily. Anyone who listens to it can "raise their hand." It depends on the creator / moderator of the room who they want to let you talk. To the extent that it allows anyone to talk. There is no record of it in these conversations. Conversations are not recorded or saved for future listeners. There is certainly no way to make money yet.


You can always zoom in or out on Google Meet without a clear video, but zoom sessions are not open to the public by default. Club House conversations are open to any member who can find it, and are limited to a few, which I hope will provide a voice for people who have something important or interesting to say. Also, not having to look at the screen when talking is a good change in daily video calls.


Who really wants to use Clubhouse?

Nowadays, the clubhouse is for people who like to talk and lose the audience - like poor celebrities - or ambushers who want to talk and see interesting things without seeing their picture. Clubhouse may be the ointment they need during another COVID winter. Finally, as it grows and becomes a big deal, it may be a new medium that we should all be wary of.


Are there celebrities?

  Yes, Kevin Hart, Drake, Tiffany Hadish, a number of Iranian bloggers and a handful of others use it. In fact, the app has become especially popular in the entertainment community. Haddish was the first person to lose 1 million followers at Clubhouse, which should tell you the service is past 1500 users. But this may play a role in the "alleged and intrusive and persecutory atmosphere" we mentioned in our review.


I feel I can do it elsewhere. Clubhouse knockouts - I mean competitors - are coming. Because, like everything else in technology, there is competition.

Mark Kuban from Tank Company, one of the early users of Clubhouse, is involved in one of them called Fireside. Twitter is testing Spaces. Of course, Facebook will take action. The Instagram app has now improved its group streaming stream called Live Rooms to allow more than two users to stream stream together (but with video). Only one thing will get worse is the competition in the Clubhouse: they work on Android.



Do third parties create Clubhouse plugins?

Yes, but it's not easy because there is no programming interface (API) for developers to connect real things to the Clubhouse experience. Direcon, for example, wants to help you with analytics for Clubhouse profiles (for $ 50 a month), but at first this meant that exposure to user information was too high.


Several other tools such as sound boards (each call benefits from sound effects), telegram-based call recorder, audience Q&A boards, Clubhouse link shorteners, and a series of programs to add a color ring to your Clubhouse avatar There is . It all suggests the Clubhouse should decide on an API soon.

Privacy is also becoming an issue. Inc.com reports that while you may not (easily) record your Clubhouse records, the company will definitely record them all. The plan is precisely stated in the privacy policy. It also shares other information about you not only through what you share (contacts and social media) but also from others (their contacts and social media). It always tracks you with all the usual tricks like cookies.


How do I delete my clubhouse account?

Deleting a Clubhouse account is not easy. To send this request, you must request it via email "support@alphaexplorationco.com" and we hope they will approve it.
