How Clubhouse Works

Now it’s time for me to breakdown how the Clubhouse app works exactly.

Rooms

Clubhouse is all about “Rooms”.

Rooms are essentially audio-based chat rooms.

Here’s an example:

When you see a room in your feed, click on it. And you’ll join the room. In most cases, the room will have several moderators. Each of which leads the discussion.

You can also create a private room. Just click on the little dot icon in the lower right corner of the app. And invite people to your private room.

Starting a Room

To start a room, hit the green “Start a room” button on the app. You’ll then be able to add a title to your room. And invite people.

And your room will go live. Just like that.

Unless you have A LOT of followers on Clubhouse, it can take a while for people to join your room. So be sure to give it at least 15-20 minutes before giving up.

Clubhouse also has a feature for scheduling rooms in advance. To do that, hit the calendar icon. Add details about your upcoming room.

And your followers will get notified. That way, they can make a note to be around when your room starts.

Raising Your Hand

In most rooms, you’ll be muted by default when you join.

If you want to chime in or ask a question, you can “raise your hand”.

The moderator can then put you on the stage to chime in. And unmute you.
