Clubhouse Voice Rooms now give you the option to chat via text
Clubhouse will now allow users to interact in the voice room via messaging. For creators, room chat provides another touchpoint with the audience in the room and provides a way to get real-time feedback. Rooms that have text chat enabled will have a dedicated icon at the bottom left of the screen. Clubhouse began allowing anyone – even those without an account – to listen to conversations happening on the platform through Clubhouse for Web since last month. Clubhouse also recently rolled out support for 13 new languages on its social audio platform.

Voice room moderators will be able to delete chat messages, and creators can choose to turn off text chat when starting a new room. Audiences will also have options to report comments and provide feedback to moderators. This will help ensure that text chat is a safe space. However, this poses a challenge as moderating comments in rooms with hundreds or thousands of people will certainly not be an easy task.

After the live audio session ends, all messages sent during the session can be read by anyone listening to the Room Replay. Clubhouse also hopes that the new feature will help creators conduct quick polls or source questions in live chat with people.
