Telegram has expanded the capabilities of voice chats – an improved version of the Clubhouse has turned out

Telegram developers announced the release of a major messenger update and a significant increase in voice chats’ capabilities. Users can now launch them on any channel, select speakers, and save audio recordings as podcasts. This is reported on the service website.

To create a voice chat, you need to go to the group profile and select “Start Voice Chat.” According to the developers, thanks to new features, channels can turn into full-fledged radio stations.

The organizers of audio conferences now have the opportunity to control the speeches of the participants. They can choose active speakers, but, if desired, it is possible to give the floor to the listener. For this, the latter will need to “raise his hand.” For the administrator to know more about the participant who raised his hand, the latter can indicate the necessary information about himself in the “About himself” column—for example, your current job, job title, or skills. You can connect to the conference from your personal account and on behalf of the channel.
