Hotline is a web app for creators that allows you to ask and answer questions with the audience.In addition to the organizer and questioner who actually ask and answer questions, there are three roles of the audience, 'just listen to the questions and answers.' Features. The actual appearance is like this, the icon of the organizer and the questioner is displayed large in the part called 'stage' on the left side, and the icons of the audience are lined up on the right side.

The audience is not allowed to speak, but it is possible to send a heart or smile icon during the question and answer session to take a reaction. The organizer also has the authority to exclude inappropriate questions and to expel users from the session.
Another big difference between Hotline and Clubhouse is that 'events are recorded'. Clubhouse is forbidden to record or even leak conversations to the outside world for the purpose of promoting casual conversations. On the other hand, since Hotline focuses on questions and answers, conversations are 'automatically recorded', and the organizer receives two types of audio data in mp3 format and recorded data in mp4 format after the session ends. This audio data and recorded data are intended to be published on Facebook, YouTube, podcasts, etc.
Hotline will be available at the following URL, but at the time of writing the article, the phrase 'Coming soon! Hotline is not currently available in your country, but will be available soon' It was displayed and was in a private state.
