Discord's Stage Channel is the latest audio-only chat rooms feature to rival the likes of Clubhouse. The company announced that its new feature will be launched on all platforms where Discord is available — Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the Web. Earlier this month, some s on Reddit were able to view the Stage Channel on Discord but were not able to use it. Clubhouse was launched in April 2020 and has become an internet sensation very quickly. Following its footsteps, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Telegram, and Mark Cuban's Fireside are bringing their own audio-only chatrooms.

Clubhouse rival through a new feature. The Stage Channel will allow audio-only calls that will be meant for larger audiences. It will allow only a select number of primary speakers where the rest of the audience can request to speak. However, this feature is only available for Community servers that have some additional powers, compared to a regular server on Discord.

The new feature will come in handy for conventions, voice ask-me-anything (AMA), interviews, and book clubs where it becomes easier to focus on who is speaking and who is waiting for their turn to speak. Audience can ‘raise their hands' to get a chance to speak in the conversation.

Clubhouse, at the moment, is only available on launched its rival to Clubhouse — Voice Chats 2.0. It lets s conduct audio-only calls with unlimited participants. Telegram also lets s record voice chats, hand-raising mechanism, invitational links, and voice-chat titles.
