(Pocket-lint) – Clubhouse, the mobile app that has sparked interest in live audio, introduces a new feature, which may help it continue to attract users, as there are several large companies all competing in the live audio space.

Called Music Mode, the new feature lets you play and listen to music live. This comes at a time when Twitter has started rolling out paid spaces for musicians to host live shows, and Spotify is working on its own live audio app. Facebook also recently added a dedicated audio hub to its Watch section.

What is Clubhouse Music Mode?

In a blog post, Clubhouse stated that Music Mode optimizes the Clubhouse mobile app so that it can stream music with “high quality, exceptional stereo sound.”

Clubhouse doesn’t say what level of high-quality sound you can expect, but it does note that the new Music Mode supports professional audio equipment during live performances, such as external USB microphones or mixers. Keep in mind that Clubhouse has recently started supporting space audio.

How to activate Clubhouse Music mode

You can easily activate Music mode by opening the latest version of the Clubhouse mobile app for iPhone, then following these steps:

1. Tap the three dots at the top corner of a room
2. Select audio quality
3. Choose Music.

If you just want to listen to the performance, all you have to do is just this: Listen. You can do this from your phone alone or with headphones and speakers.

Who can try Clubhouse Music Mode?

Music mode is initially only available on iOS. Clubhouse said rollout to Android will follow soon.
