Hotline different from Clubhouse
· Host gets control over audience participation · Built-in Q&A · Open-ended discussions · Conversations are recorded · Use of emojis as reactions Hotline gives hosts control over audience participation. It is different in its working as it allows the hosts to use video and even allows them to schedule more formal presentations with Q&A built-in. Unlike audio-only conversations that take place on Clubhouse, Hotline will provide users a chance to engage in more open-ended discussions, and will even allow the hosts to record their sessions in both audio and video formats. It will automatically records conversations, which can prove quite useful when conducting.

The brain behind Facebook Hotline Clubhouse
Hotline app is being led by Eric Hazzard, the brain behind the Q&A app tbh, which Facebook acquired in 2017. Facebook Hotline will support the video and will let participants toggle the video when asking a question. In Hotline, the video will play a secondary role to audio though, as streams will be presented in small circles. It will also enable users to switch to only listen in on the conversation, or be active participants, whenever they feel like it.
