What is the Clubhouse app

The Clubhouse app is a social networking app based on voice chat only, where users can listen to conversations, interviews and discussions between famous people on various topics, just like listening to a podcast but with an extra layer of exclusivity. Because the application works with the invitation system only, and you cannot download it from the application store and create an account as you do with other voice chat, it can be likened to a private club, where you must be invited to join by an existing member within the application.

To join the platform there are two ways, the first way is to receive a personal invitation, when a person joins the application, he is automatically granted one invitation that he can send to another person using his phone number, and this means that members will send invitations to people who have a close relationship with them, such as family and friends And not just acquaintances, with the passage of time and joining more than one room the more invitations to host more will be gained.
The second method is to visit the Clubhouse website, to download the app from the App Store and reserve your username, and based on the number of your friends who are already using the app, they may receive a notification informing them that you have booked a username and downloaded the app, and then they get an option to direct you Even if they don't have an official invitation to send it.

Analysts expect the Clubhouse app not to be just a platform for individual users looking for advice or friendship, but rather "beyond words" as marketers and specialists in marketing products and brands are already thinking. And what may happen next, a brand may host some kind of conversation within the platform, by conducting discussions, contests or chatting with experts, but it is very likely that the platform will become a place for live shows, concerts, and even the home of something similar to the radio series that were prevalent in Mid-20th century, it was a popular favorite.
