    Clubhouse Introduces Music Mode

    Clubhouse is targeting musicians with a new feature called “Music Mode.”

    Clubhouse is the audio-first social media platform that took the world by storm. Initially invitation-only, the platform became the place for celebrities and CEOs to give interviews and engage in chats.

    The company is now introducing Music Mode, a feature that should make it more appealing to musicians.

    Clubhouse announced the feature on the company blog:

    “Calling all musicians! Today we’re introducing Music Mode, a new setting that helps you sound your best when performing on Clubhouse. Whether you’re workshopping that new song, playing piano, or hosting a jam session with your friends, Music Mode optimizes Clubhouse to broadcast your music with high quality and great stereo sound. You’ll also be able to use professional audio equipment for your performance, like external USB microphones or mixing boards.”

  • Clubhouse Removed Personal Information to Protect Afghans

    Clubhouse Removed Personal Information to Protect Afghans

    Clubhouse is the latest social media platform to take steps to protect Afghans in the wake of the Taliban’s takeover.

    The Taliban surprised the world with the speed with which they retook the country, forcing the Afghan president to flee and solidifying their control. For many Afghans, especially ones that supposed US operations or embraced Western values, the resurgence of the Taliban has put them in grave danger.

    According to The Verge, Clubhouse has taken measures to protect its Afghans users, including resetting their bios, resetting their photos and making their accounts harder to find via search. The company said users’ followers were not affected, and users can reverse the changes if they desire.

    Clubhouse’s actions are a welcome effort for many Afghans as they try to survive a difficult transition.
