The hype around audio chat rooms has mostly died down. As the app considered the trend starter, Clubhouse has been particularly quiet over the last few months. However, the company now just released a major feature for its users.

As you may know, not everyone wants to be on the mic but they might still want to be heard. For these people, Clubhouse has announced the In-Room Chat feature that lets the audience and hosts communicate via text. It's like YouTube and Twitch's live chat feature. This is also useful for audience members who want to drop comments but want to avoid interrupting the host.

Of course, there will be moderation in place for In-Room Chat. According to Clubhouse, creators will have full control over and can delete the messages at any time. Mods can be appointed to help, and users can delete their messages if necessary. The company has also confirmed that emojis are supported.

This is a big feature for audio chat apps, and we expect other platforms like Twitter Space to follow suit soon. With that said, what do you think about audio chat apps? Do you tune in to these chat rooms? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
