Ever since Clubhouse, the invite-only audio-room app, became popular in the market, we’ve seen various companies come up with their versions of Clubhouse-like features and platforms. Piggybacking on the now-popular concept of social audio rooms, tech giants like Facebook, Instagram, and even Twitter are actively building a Clubhouse-like feature. Now, as per recent reports, Discord is also working on a similar feature.

The feature was reportedly spotted by data miners in Discord’s source code a few days ago. Now, it seems to be in the beta-testing phase as Reddit user u/MaximumPollution reports that he has got access to it. The feature is dysfunctional as of now and does not let users create a stage channel, although the option is visible.
