Clubhouse is an invitation-only social media app for iOS and Android where users can communicate in voice chat rooms that accommodate groups of thousands of people. The audio-only app hosts live discussions, with opportunities to participate through speaking and listening. The app was first introduced to iOS by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth of Alpha Exploration Co. in March 2020, with a beta launch for Android in May 2021. They stated it on an invite-only basis to ensure their team can manage the growth of its user base. The app is refined continuously to be capable of supporting a larger audience. Clubhouse extended its accessibility to the public by launching the full Android version in May 2021. Conversations are prohibited by Clubhouse's guidelines from being recorded, transcribed, reproduced, or shared without explicit permission. This has been a source of controversy because bullying, harassment, and racism have occurred on the app.

Vogue described the app's experience as "a dizzying bringing together of live podcast-style conversations, panel discussions, networking opportunities, with some savvy people are already swapping 'influencer' for 'moderator'." The magazine was impressed with its advantageous multiple-room use, with locked and private options available so you can talk to pals too. The social-media app mimics real-life interactions. The main feature of Clubhouse is virtual "rooms" in which users can communicate via audio. Rooms are categorized based on differing levels of privacy. This course takes you through creating a room, the different types of rooms, and how to invite someone as a speaker. Many conversations on Clubhouse occur spontaneously, but users also can plan conversations by creating events. Users can also add co-hosts to help moderate the event. You will learn how to create and modify these events.
