However, Clubhouse claims that the functionality might assist improve the app’s overall experience. Moderators, for example, can talk between themselves and arrange ahead of time before opening a session. They may also accept text-based queries and determine who to call from the crowd. By default, anybody may message you, but messages from individuals you don’t follow go into a separate Requests page. A few features are still missing from Backchannel. There is presently no support for sharing images or videos, no message reactions, and no direct access to an audio Clubhouse room from Backchannel. Clubhouse claims it has gained 8 million new members since debuting on Android in late May. According to the business, the typical user spends over an hour on the site, and the number of Clubhouse rooms created every day has grown to over 500,000.
