JAKARTA - Clubhouse's social audio chat app is rolling out the ability to record and replay conversations and also download 30-second clips to share on social media or other sites. This was reported by sources at Clubhouse on Thursday, September 30.

The app will also launch an improved search function to help people find live and scheduled audio rooms, users and clubs oriented towards specific interests, the company said.

The new features will aim to help creators at Clubhouse expand their audience at a time when bigger tech rivals such as Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc have also introduced competing "social audio" features.

"Right now it's too difficult for (creators) to thrive," said Paul Davison, Clubhouse co-creator and chief executive, in an interview. "Whenever you help create a great moment or there's a great quote, you can share it far and wide, alongside a link telling people where to go to join the club."

The ability to record and replay conversations will be tested and offered to select creators over the next few weeks, Clubhouse said, while the ability to share short clips will begin rolling out on Thursday, September 30.
