Users will be able to record and replay conversations and
download 30-second video clips that can be shared with interlocutors and even
relayed to other media platforms and sites.
Another new feature is an improved search that helps users
find live audio chats, online events for users with specific interests, or
clubs dedicated to specific topics.
The new features are expected to help content creators
expand their audiences at a time when larger social networks like Facebook and
Twitter have also introduced social audio services.
According to co-founder and CEO Paul Davison, it’s too
difficult for content creators to grow up right now. But, “once you create good
content, or come across a good quote, you can share it everywhere, along with a
link that will help people find a way to join a particular club”.
The ability to record and replay conversations is in testing
and will be available content creators over the next few weeks, and the ability
to share short clips will begin rolling out to selected user groups next
Thursday.
Clips
Clips — rolling out today in beta — will allow anyone to
share 30-second clips of public rooms; so more people on the Internet can
discover and join your club. Here’s how it will work:
When you start a room, you can choose whether you want clips
enabled. They’ll be on by default for open/public rooms, and you can toggle
them off anytime. They are not available for private, social or club rooms.
If you’ve enabled Clips, people will see a new icon (✄);
which they can tap anytime to grab a Clip of the past 30 seconds. This lets
them share a preview of your room with others, or capture an incredible moment
that just happened.
People can share Clips of your show to Instagram, Twitter,
Facebook, iMessage, or WhatsAp; and even save them to their camera rolls for
quick editing first.
