Facebook has been long rumored to be working on a Clubhouse rival. The company on Wednesday rolled out the beta version of the experimental app Hotline, which is a combination of Q&A, Clubhouse, and Instagram live. This app contains the features of Clubhouse and Instagram Live. This app allows the audience to ask questions to the host via audio and text. However, users can also turn on the cameras as this is not an audio-only app. As per TechCrunch, Facebook has launched Hotline for beta testing. The report states that the app features its first Q and A with real estate investor Nick Huber. The website of Hotline has gone live, and it allows sign-ins through Twitter and verification via SMS. The designs for the mobile version of the app has already been created, but it has not gone live at the moment. Although Facebook has been rumored to be working on a Clubhouse-rival, Hotline is entirely different from the audio app. The hotline allows people to switch on the cameras, unlike Clubhouse. It is being built by the same team that made the video chatting platform Messenger Rooms, as per TechCrunch.
