How to get access to Clubhouse, the new invite-only audio app PixabayThe latest app to get everyone\u2019s attention is Clubhouse, but if you\u2019re wondering how to actually gain access, you\u2019re not alone: it\u2019s invite-only. Although it\u2019s only been out less than a year, Clubhouse is a highly-exclusive app that everyone is talking about, and what separates it from the rest is that it\u2019s audio-only. It\u2019s grown from having just 1,500 users in May 2020 to garnering more than 600,000 at the end of 2020; members include Oprah, Ashton Kutcher, Drake, and Jared Leto. It\u2019s been described as a platform full of \u2018virtual panels\u2019 where members can listen to live audio of celebrities, creatives or professionals, and \u201craise your hand\u201d to indicate that you\u2019d like to participate. Discussions can be about almost anything: debates, movements, pep-talks, lectures, book clubs, comedy shows\u2026 you name it. The one rule is that you cannot record anything. But while it\u2019s blowing up in popularity, it\u2019s not as easy to get into as simply downloading the app and creating an account. There are two major things you need: an iPhone and an invite. How to get access At the moment, the only way to be invited to Clubhouse is by a current user. But once you\u2019re in, you will be given one invitation for yourself to give out. If you\u2019re too impatient to wait for an invite to come your way, you can put a call out on Instagram or Twitter using the #Clubhouse hashtag in case someone is feeling generous. https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZonaFluff\/status\/1348489250338004993?s=20 Each new user is given one invite they can dole out to one lucky soul, and after some time on the app, you get another three invites. So, with this in mind, some people could have invites to spare. However, if you don\u2019t get an invite using this method either, don\u2019t worry; the app is still in beta testing mode, and the website says \u201cwe are working hard to open things up soon!\u201d Clubhouse has said that \u201cit\u2019s not intended to be exclusive,\u201d and that it is working hard to give everyone full access. Right now, the intentions behind the invite-only model are to \u201cbuild community slowly\u201d and \u201cprepare features that will help it handle larger numbers of people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
