Popular audio chat app Clubhouse is adding a bunch of new features, including one many people have wanted an in-app recording.
The feature is dubbed "replays" by Clubhouse. Creators and moderators have the ability to record, and they can turn it on or off. To be recorded, rooms must be open to the public. The feature will allow users to record a room, save it to their profile and club, or downloads it.
"You'll be able to choose whether you want Replays enabled when you start a room. If they're on, your room will be discoverable on Clubhouse for as long as you like — and available for you to download and share anywhere," the app said in a blog post.
In rooms that allow it, users will be able to create 30-second shareable clips in addition to full recordings. The app will also get a search function, allowing users to type in a keyword or a name and get a list of rooms, people, clubs, and bios that match.
Finally, spatial audio is also now coming to Android devices after rolling out to iOS devices in August.
To create a clip, users can tap on a scissor icon that will capture the past 30 seconds of audio that can then be locally downloaded and shared widely.
Last month, the audio chat app officially launched a new way to invite people to audio chats called "Wave" for all users on iOS and Android.
With Wave, users can invite friends to a live audio room just by tapping a waving hand emoji. Once they receive their invitation, they can choose to join your call and immediately get added to audio.
