Product Roadmap - @Paul
- Notify those you follow first, then everyone else, to allow you to setup then open up the room. – @Rohan!
- No release past week, but 2 this week. Tuesday ish
- IN APP CLUB CREATION IN THAT RELEASE!!
- Role out to more established people first, those who have hosted nd been in rooms as speakers.
- Basic version but more improvements coming
- Higher quality Audio -testing when all
- Links to Profile coming, so they can find you and follow
- Links to clubs – to share and get people direct to the club
- Adding features to tell when rooms not relevant & say why not relevant, language, no interest, so we can learn best how to show you better feeds over time
- Buttons by notifications, stacking up and making notifications unusable.
Older ones likely to expire & creating overflow tray - New App icon incoming – Plan for every few weeks not months apart.
MUSIC MODE – Accidentally mentioned by @ANU
LIVE
Discover
Trending rooms
Will there ever be popular rooms, but not based relevant by my interests?
- Plan to do 5, 10 or 20
- Best follow suggestions
- Clubs to follow
- Rooms that are happening
- Best notifications
- Alot of work could be done here.
- WOULD show rooms not based on your follow graph, because of INTERESTS – so please set them and get ready for that roll out
- Some global trending rooms may be of interest to you – so want you not to miss them
- Editorial stuff, global trending topic based & more relevant over time.
Will you make ability to click profile and find. the room they are in?
- Side right to left & click profile & join room
Only for those you follow who also follow you back - Could add people you follow, and from profile
- Started you follow who also follow you ?
Follower visibility
Like to see if people who follow me are in room without scrolling?
- Best atm is sidebar – ‘IN ROOM WITH YOU’
- 3 dots – search room to see if people in room with you
- Would like to have
- People followed by speakers – but may add in section for people who follow you.
'Follower Jail'
I’m in follow jail – hard to connect with new people.
What’s the right number to follow
- Rate limits (Around 2500)
- Only certain number within a set time period
- By deign to not SPAM other people – Stops people doing mass Follow For Follow
- You should follow people who you are genuinely interested in
- Common across most networks & best for experience
- More you follow – more rooms you will see, and noisier it will become
- If you would REALLY enjoy hearing from them then FOLLOW
Room numbers & high profile speakers
Popular person joins and the numbers explode
Why is this?
- Trigger notification when up to speak
- If you are in the room – it means it becomes visible to your followers
- Always changing but directionally why it happens
Room timings & visibility
Please make BIG interviews at regular time.
Trying to provide value to guests, and these cause disruption
- 6 rooms I wanted to be in….
Stories of Steve Jobs – original Mac / Apple team
Diana in good time team
Wycliffe started a room - All part of the experience
- It’s about lack of visibility
- Guest could be last minute, or pop in as a surprise
- Our Job to help you get visibility of what else is on calendar at that time
- Help you work out ideal times for your shows.
- Continue opening clubhouse so more people to draw in
- Open up android etc to make this better
- We even had to move user orientation
- MOre issue as more creators join
Room experience
Room design.
What features you are planning on adding in & when ?
- Welcoming more people to CH for more great conversations
- Adding Android localisation, monetisation
- 4 features – only caught 3
- GROWTH
- STABILITY & SCALING SUPORT / TRUST & SAFETY
- IN ROOM EXPERIENCE
- More focussed on scaling and discovery next couple of weeks.
- Roadmap steered by feedback from community
Room duration
Is there a time limit on room duration ?
Should there be?
Can we see all start times in feed
- NO LIMIT – Late night. early mornings – 12 days room possible record?
- Love rooms being organic
- Paul loves rooms with no titles – as interesting to see the flow
- If people are there having fun then should
- Focussed rooms – end times work
- Causal chats – more go with the flow
- May be new wave of people hence extended
Stage Management
Can clubhouse set limit to stage limits?
And maybe moderator numbers?
- No perfect number – too many formats
- Let user community use as they see feels right
- We think experience would steer how people use it
Like Wikipedia – an idea that shouldn’t work but only does in practice!
- Max number of mods – lots of speakers is good, but lots of Mods results in bad rooms. Mod status is focused on TRUST
- A lot of people thing making someone MOD sends more notifications – NOT TRUE!
- NO hard limit from us, but down to you to decide
Moderator actions in rooms
Can Clubhouse provide list of actions by moderators after room has ended?
- WHY….?
- Intentionally not added – so mods can do without fear of retribution
- creator first – you start room – you are in control
- A lot fo product usage for mods to see what others are up to, and could be useful
Android App - AGAIN
Android?
When is it out? How plan to allocate invites for user? Still participations?
- Working on Android now
- No timeframe – coming months
- Invites same as currently on iOS
Clubs
Once self approved will those on list get approved
- Screen for things violating terms of service
- YES – Absolutely, we want created
- Notify everyone & help them get setup
SCALING – Does members vs followers matter?
- Grow audience – same thing
- Only difference members only PRIVATE rooms
How will monetisation affect clubs?
- Hopefully positive way
- Tools that allow. users on app to monetise
- Maybe subscriptions / dues for clubs or specific rooms
- Direct speaker tipping
- Will allow creators to earn from those interested in great experience & conversation
Creator programme
How can we join creator programme?
- Steph has pilot programme with panel group to see what features they want and how they are using
- Goal is to build tools and features to all
Brands on Clubhouse
If I am a brand rep or owner;
How can I best use or get involved with Clubhouse?
- Accounts should NOT be profiles
- Real name service
- Club level is best way currently
BRANDS SHOULD REACH OUT :
partnerships@joinclubhouse.com
Trust & Safety
ENFORCEMENT GUIDELINE
How are investigations undertaken and ban periods set?
- Help from users – Self moderating. – more in ToS & Community Guidelines
- Want to hold as little data as possible on rooms & conversations
- Originally nothing i recorded ever
But then needed temp encrypted buffer to investigate reports of trust and safety – only used to investigate. - If nothing reported, then not saved beyond the rooms
- Big team on support & trust & safety
- Warn, suspend or remove depending on severity of issue.
- Details internal guidelines on decision making – living document so always changing
- No specifics means people can’t game it!!
- Job will never be done
Data privacy
Does Clubhouse share data with 3rd parties for commercial now or plan to in future.
- NO – Affirmative
- We don’t want business built on ads
- Updated privacy should make crystal clear
Account privacy
Would you consider account options to approve followers?
- Others – single binary decision
- Ours is per room
- Specific people
- only those you follow
- Only Club
- Done at club level
Blocking
Would you re-consier soft block to hard block
- We don’t tell them for clarity
- They won’t be able to see your room
- If you end up in room with someone you don’t want to be there with in room. Would be awkward. So feel this was best way to handle it.
- We decide based on your feedback
Content types
What is one type of content you would like to see more of?
- Voice is flexible medium
- Range of formats people have come up with is incredible
- Voice is relatively new on social but it’s the oldest medium – been talking to know people, pass on knowledge. We want Clubhouse to be reflection of that.
- Daily news programming – Such a good fit for the platform
- Reading the headlines to help you understand what’s happening
- Talk show hosts do this through jokes.
- Reliable slots walking people through the news – Paul would do this, and they will support
- Something like the daily show – @anu
- Getting ready listen to someone sharing thoughts on the latest news @paul
Final Thoughts...

We are immensely grateful that we get to spend our time building this product.
