Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Use Clubhouse on iPad?

Yes, though you will face some problems as it is not optimized for iPadOS. However, it runs fine on Android tablets.

Do You Still Need Clubhouse Invite Code?

The app used to be invite-only: someone had to invite you to join the network. People were even selling Clubhouse invites. However, anyone can join the app now. The creators might allow this to fend off the competitors like Twiter Spaces.

Different Types of Clubhouse Rooms

Clubhouse allows you to create three types of rooms; these are:

Welcome Room
Whenever someone in your friends joins Clubhouse, you may get notified to join a Welcome Room where you can help the new user get familiar with the app.
Open Rooms

Anyone can join the open rooms. These rooms help hold public conversations and meet new people. By default, every room in the Clubhouse is an open room.

Social Rooms
Sometimes you want to have conversations with close friends in your social circle. Clubhouse understands this and offers Social Rooms for the very purpose. These rooms have an intimate group of people, and you can expand the list by inviting more people. For this purpose, you have to make one of your followers a moderator, and they will invite more people in their circles to the room.

Closed Rooms
Taking into consideration that you may want a private conversation, the Clubhouse features Closed or Private rooms. With closed groups, you can add more people.

Conclusion

The clubhouse is an audio app that provides a perfect platform for people who like to talk and listen to people. It literally gives the “voice” to the communities. Many social networking apps have copied this model like Twiter.
