Clubhouse will allow you to pin external links at the top of rooms

Clubhouse will soon let you share outside links, and monetization is coming to the platform, too. Clubhouse CEO Paul Davison and Global Head of Marketing Maya Watson shared that it will bring pinned links to the social audio app at The Verge's On The Verge event. 

The feature will let moderators place the external links at the top of a room to promote things like a Patreon page, podcast, or news article. It doesn't matter how many followers a moderator has; they can change or remove links when they want.

Clubhouse offers musicians a high-quality audio mode

One of the best things about Clubhouse is it allows musicians to play things like new material to an audience. And now, these singers and bands can play these songs with a higher quality sound in stereo. The app gets a new Music Mode that's accessible through the three-dot menu. It's under the Audio Quality section with a new option called Music. 

According to Clubhouse, "You'll also be able to use professional audio equipment for your performance, like external USB microphones or mixing boards." Musicians who add pre-recorded Clips can even use the mode, "so any snippets you share from performers using music mode will also sound great." The app already supports spatial audio, and now this new feature further improves sound quality on the platform.

Clubhouse is trying out a new feature that could keep you on the app longer than usual. Or at least just use it beyond listening to different talks on the social audio platform. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered a new "Wave" button, which you can use to let your friends know that you want to chat. 

If the company rolls this feature out, the new button will appear on users' profiles. It'll look similar to the Wave button you see first when you connect with someone on Facebook Messenger. When you tap on it, it'll let your friend know you want to chat, and then Clubhouse will open a room for you if they respond.
