Top Clubhouse Groups for UI/UX Designers

Since Elon Musk named Clubhouse to be his favorite social network, the app’s popularity started growing exponentially. But in case you lived on another planet for the past few months, we’ll tell you about the network in a nutshell. Clubhouse is a new social network where users can communicate by voice only. Currently, the platform remains closed to the broad public because one can get there only by invitation of a friend who is already registered in the Clubhouse.

Users communicate in so-called rooms — audio chats, which can be public or private. The room has moderators, speakers, and listeners. The latter cannot participate in the discussion until they use the “raise a hand” function and are approved by the moderator — and then they will become a speaker.

Most of the Clubhouse rooms that are open to the public are dedicated to a specific topic, which is indicated in its name. Users can find topics they are interested in and also see which rooms the people they follow are in.

The main benefit of the Clubhouse is an opportunity to listen to and ask questions in real-time to celebrities like Elon Musk, Kevin Hart, Mark Zuckerberg, and many others.

Some people have already become Clubhouse fans, while others still feel skeptical about all the hype. Anyway, there’s one thing we are sure about the new network: it has lots of exciting content for digital product & web experience designers .

This article will cover the most popular clubs for UI/UX designers and those who want to enter the profession. Just find an invite, search for the clubs you’re interested in, and participate in the next audio chat arranged by the club.
