About Muting, Unmuting, and Clubhouse Roles
Clubhouse is an audio-social app, so obviously, you’ll be listening to other users speak. But what if you have something valuable to add to the conversation? Your ability to talk in one of the Clubhouse rooms you join depends on your role. So let’s go through these roles briefly to get started. Moderator: When you start a Clubhouse room, you are the Moderator. You are the one speaking and can add, remove, and mute others in the room. If you are a Moderator, you can mute and unmute yourself. Speaker: The Moderator and the first user to enter the stage in a room are automatically Speakers. If you are a Speaker, you can mute and unmute yourself. Listener: If you join a Clubhouse room in progress, you are a Listener. Your microphone is muted by default. If you wish to speak, you can raise your hand with the icon at the bottom. If you are invited to speak, you’ll then become a Speaker and can mute and unmute yourself.
How to Mute and Unmute Yourself in Clubhouse
Now that you know how speaking in a room works in Clubhouse, it’s easy to mute and unmute yourself when needed.
Follow the Clubhouse Etiquette
Before you speak in the app, it’s good to review the Clubhouse Community Guidelines. Proper etiquette by users in a social app is important to its success. You can review this document in the Clubhouse app or online. In the Clubhouse app, tap your profile icon on the top right and then the gear icon. Select Community Guidelines. To read the Clubhouse Community Guidelines online, visit the Clubhouse website and select Guidelines at the bottom.
