Social media has become a saturated space and it’s not every day that you see a new service pop up on the media. One such platform that has seen a surge in its user base is Clubhouse, an audio-only social media platform that gives its users the means to vocally interact without worrying about how they look or present themselves. Think of it as podcasts where you can participate, ask questions and also make your voice heard.

To make conversations clearer, you may want to streamline who’s speaking in a room and who’s listening. In this post, we’ll explain different mute actions available to Clubhouse room members, how to mute yourself and others in a room, and more.

By default, you enter a room on Clubhouse with your microphone completely muted. This means that when you enter a room on the app, your voice is not accessible to others and can only be activated if you mute yourself. If the topic becomes interesting, you can intervene and voice your concerns by raising your hand or muting your microphone.
