Competitive Chatroom Platfroms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Discord Launched a Clubhouse Competitor Dubbed 'Stage Channels'

— April 5, 2021 — Social Media
Discord, the platform created in 2015 designed to help friends and family stay in touch, recently launched Stage Channels. The new feature boasts similar functions to Clubhouse, allowing individuals to join "clubs" that are focused around certain topics and talk with the users in the club.

Discord’s description of Stage Channels says, “Stages can be especially useful in situations where you’re running events within your server such as voice AMAs or interviews, reading clubs where each person talks about their book of choice, or just singing the night away in karaoke. No more having people talking over each other thinking it’s their turn or that long awkward silence before someone goes ‘…oh, am I up?’”
