It was rumored earlier that Spotify would be coming out with a feature to rival Clubhouse. The only advantage Greenroom has over Clubhouse is that you don’t need to get an invite to join in. It was thought that the feature would be within Spotify itself which, to be honest, would be pretty cool and it would be good for those who make use of the lite version of Spotify. With that being said, let’s dive into Greenroom – Spotify’s answer to Clubhouse. Spotify Greenroom Greenroom by Spotify was launched on the 16th of June and has been developed by Betty labs incorporated. Betty Labs have been purchased by Spotify and hence you’ll find them as the developers of Spotify Greenroom. The app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store in Early Access. The app was previously known as Locker Room which was a live audio chat app that revolved everything around sports and athletes. The app has been rebranded as Spotify Greenroom which now can be used to discuss not only sports but culture and music. Now let’s check out how you can create account in Spotify Greenroom for creating and joining rooms.

Spotify Greenroom: Room Controls
Each room has three kids of people a host, speaker, and listener. The host has overall control of the room. They can decide who gets to be on stage to speak and who gets to listen. They also have the control to turn the discussion tabs On or Off. The discussion tab is where all the chats of the room take place. If a listener wishes to speak they can simply raise their hand to and the host will then permit them to speak.

If you something the speaker talks about or the host for doing good work, you can simply send them a gem. It’s a way to show that you like their work.

If you are in a room listening to live audio and something doesn’t feel right about the room, you can always report it and leave the room. The reports are all confidential. This means that nobody will ever know who reported whom.
Conclusion
Overall, it’s a good move by Spotify to bring in more competition to the drop in the audio chats universe. Of course, the app is in early access but the way the app freezes and responds slowly to inputs is kind of a letdown. Now it could also be to the fact that there are already a huge number of people accessing the platform at the same time, and it could likely be server issues. Personally, while setting up my account and going through the app, simple things like changing a few settings or browsing for rooms took quite a lot of time, thanks to the delayed app response. We could see better days for the app and the platform as Spotify makes improvements all around. If you’ve any query, then make sure to drop it in the comment box.
