Top Audio Room Applications That We Love

As more and more social media apps jump on the audio room bandwagon, it’s starting to get difficult for some to choose which option to with. Let’s give you a breakdown of all the top audio rooms everyone is using. 

Fanbase

Fanbase Direct Voice has monetized audio rooms giving every user on stage the ability to receive money for speaking. The Audio Rooms consist of a stage and an audience and will soon allow the ability for users to create subscription-only rooms.

Clubhouse

We were all hatin’ outside of the club before we could get in. This veteran audio app was launched in April 2020, right on time to keep us all occupied while staying in the house at the brink of the Coronavirus pandemic. Whether you want to host your own room or listen in, the app has a slew of rooms a user can visit as you scope out what’s available in Clubhouse’s “hallway.” Some of the best highlights from Clubhouse have come from the celeb discussions, news gatherings with thought leaders, and of course, who doesn’t love the phone prank rooms?

Twitter Spaces

As soon as word got out that people liked to talk in online audio rooms, Twitter made sure to tap in. Twitter announced it was testing its audio room feature back in November 2020. Once it launched in May, it immediately became a convenient spot for celebs and tech giants to host their own live audio-based meetups. “Anyone can join, listen, and speak in a Space on Twitter for iOS and Android. Currently, starting a Space on Web is not possible, but anyone can join and listen in a Space,” reads Twitter.com. 

Facebook Live Audio Rooms

It was no surprise that Facebook would break out its own audio room, seeing as it has a record of biting other social media apps’ ideas. With no limit to the number of listeners and the ability to have up to 50 speakers, Facebook’s Live Audio Rooms became a go-to for large organizations as soon as it debuted in June 2021. “Live Audio Rooms on Facebook enable you to discover, listen in on and join live conversations with public figures, experts and others about topics you’re interested in. Public figures can invite friends, followers, verified public figures, or any listeners in the room to be a speaker. The host can invite speakers in advance or during the conversation. There can be up to 50 speakers, and there’s no limit to the number of listeners,” wrote Fidji Simo, former Head of Facebook App

Spotify Greenrooms

Relatively new to the game is Spotify’s Greenrooms. The app launched in June 2021. What’s interesting about the Greenrooms is you don’t have to have a Spotify account to use it. All you have to do is download the Greenroom app and sign up for free. For now, the app only allows up to 1,000 people in a room. Greenrooms also has a neat “like” feature called “Gems” that enables a user to double-tap on a speaking person’s profile pic and give them a “Gem” to show that the person likes what they are saying. 

“Discover conversations about your favorite music, fantasy sports picks, and so much more. We’re breaking down the barriers to bring fans and creators closer together to communicate about the big moments or sub-cultures they love — if it’s out there, get into it here,” reads a description of Spotify’s Greenrooms.
