Pavel Jelic If you haven't had your head in the sand for the last few weeks after the new year, then you certainly haven't missed the countless things that have happened in such a short time. We can mention, for example, the massive drop in users of the chat application WhatsApp, due to a change in the terms of use, or the boom in the new social network Clubhouse. And it is precisely this second topic that we will address in this article. We will talk about what the Clubhouse actually is, why it was created, what it is for, how you can get into it and much more information. So let's get straight to the point.

Flying around the world with Apple Is Clubhouse right for you?
We'll take it in order. First, let's talk about what Clubhouse actually is and who it is intended for - so that you know if this application will interest you in any way. I personally registered this new trend already in the early phase of its boom. But quite frankly, I didn't want to get attached to another social network, so I didn't follow it in any way. Later, however, a friend gave me an invitation to this application, which is necessary to use the application, and I finally decided to install Clubhouse and try it out. Exactly as I expected, this is another "time waster" and "boredom killer". So if you have a desk full of different papers and countless reminders, don't install the application. You will most likely regret it.
How does Clubhouse work?
Clubhouse is an app where you communicate with people only through voice. There is no option to express yourself in text form. If you want to express yourself in any way, it is necessary that you apply for the floor and start speaking. Within the Clubhouse application, there are mainly various rooms in which a certain topic is addressed. These rooms are divided into two groups - speakers and listeners. When you move into a room, you automatically join a larger group of listeners and listen to the speakers having a conversation with each other. If you would like to comment on any of the speakers' opinions, you must apply to speak, with room moderators being able to move you to the group of speakers. After that, all you have to do is turn on the microphone and say what's on your mind.

You need an invitation to join
If you would like to join the Clubhouse, believe me, it is not easy at the moment. Not that the registration itself is complicated, certainly not. But as I mentioned above, you need an invitation to join the mentioned application. You can get this invitation from, for example, your friend or anyone else. Each new user gets the opportunity to send out two invitations, with the possibility of receiving a few more when actively using the application. Individual invitations are always linked to a phone number, not to a nickname or name. Therefore, if you want to send an invitation to someone, it is necessary that you choose the correct phone number of the user. However, there are rumors that this invite system should be scrapped soon, and that the Clubhouse should be available classically to everyone.

First steps after launch
If you managed to get an invitation to the Clubhouse, all you have to do is install the application and register. At the outset, however, it should be noted that Clubhouse is currently only available on iOS - so users will not enjoy it on Android. But that should change soon, as the team of developers is already working on a version of the application for Android, according to available information. After launching the application, you must enter your phone number on which you received the invitation in the appropriate field. After that, authorize yourself with the code that came to you and set the first and last name, which should be correct, together with the nickname. Then rush to insert a photo and choose which interests you are interested in. On the next screen, you will see a list of users who in some way meet your requirements, i.e. interests - you can start following them immediately.

Rooms, users and clubs
The individual rooms in the Clubhouse will appear on the home page of the application. They are displayed exactly according to the interests you have selected and the users you follow. All rooms are only temporary and will disappear after the end of the debate, at the same time they cannot be searched in any way. So if you leave a room and want to return to it, you have to scroll down on the home page until it appears again. You can help yourself in a certain way if you start following individuals who are often in a particular group. After that, the rooms in which the users you follow are located will appear on the home page. You can then only search for users themselves, or for clubs that individuals can create after regularly creating the same room several times in a row.
As for creating your own room, it's nothing complicated. Just tap Start a room at the bottom of the screen, where you then select the type of room and the topics to be discussed in the room. The good news is that you can also switch to another app or lock your device while using Clubhouse. The application can run in the background. The problem is only if you rank among the speakers. For these users, it is often necessary to always work with the microphone. As soon as you start talking, it is necessary to activate the microphone, because when you are not talking, you should turn it off so as not to disturb others.

Benjamin Levicek The themes of the rooms are varied
In the Clubhouse you will find really all kinds of rooms. Within them, you can also chat about a specific topic with users of different age categories. There is nothing strange in the fact that speakers start talking to each other in the same room, when one of them is sixteen years old and the other is maybe forty-five. In interesting rooms, you can get a perfect overview of the opinion of individuals from the younger generation, as well as individuals from the older one, on a certain matter. Among other things, you can come here for various advice, confide in what is troubling you, or just simply "chat". Hot topics include, for example, photography, political science, influencers, marketing, or perhaps sex, relationships, dating sites and more. Of course, you can find individuals in the app who try to spoil the experience in a certain room, anyway, they are practically always actively kicked out by the moderators.

You must now be thinking about whether or not you should install Clubhouse. In general, I would say that it mainly depends on what the content of your day is. Clubhouse is quite frankly addictive for many individuals, so it can happen that you sit on it for several hours at a time, which can then have a negative effect on work morale. But if you are able to tame the use of social networks, Clubhouse can be at least interesting for you - you can learn new things, often from absolute champions in the field. At Clubhouse, you can currently also find countless different celebrities and well-known faces, i.e. well-known voices. Someone might just be bothered by the "intrusion" of privacy. All users who follow you can easily find out what room you are in and can also join the room to listen to you if necessary. At the same time, I think that Clubhouse can help some individuals with the social block as well.
Hello, I have a request. Unfortunately, I installed Clubhouse and accepted the invitation. But, unfortunately, I didn't really like it. I need advice on how to deactivate the account, I can't find it anywhere...
