How to Install and Use Clubhouse on Mac

The Clubhouse app is getting more popular but not available to use on your Mac desktops or MacBooks. If you are trying to install Clubhouse drop-in audio chat app on your Mac to create room and meet people to talk about any topics, we found some clever ways.

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install the Clubhouse app on your MacBook.

Install Clubhouse on Mac from App Store

The Clubhouse app is available for iPhone users as of now. If you have heard, your M1 Mac or M1 MacBook can run iPhone apps. So, you are in luck if you use an M1 MacBook or Mac. Let us see how to sideload and install Clubhouse on Mac with an M1 chip.

On your new M1 Mac, open the Spotlight search by pressing Command + Space bar and search for App Store.

Open App Store and search for “Clubhouse” using the search bar at the upper left corner of the window.

From the search result page, you may not find any Clubhouse app. That’s why you have to click the “iPhone & iPad Apps” button right on the screen.

There you will see the Clubhouse among the search results. Click on the “Get” or “Download” icon to install the Clubhouse app on your Mac.

You can now close the App Store and wait for the Clubhouse app to finish installing. Once done, you can open the Clubhouse app on your Mac.

Just like on your iPhone, you can open the Clubhouse on Mac and run it. While you are running an iPhone app, like Clubhouse, on Mac, there are a few things to keep in mind.

  • All iPhone apps on Mac do not have a full-size width interface.
  • Apps for iPhone are designed to work with a touch interface. You may struggle with the keyboard and trackpad to control iPhone apps on your Mac.

There are third-party Clubhouse client apps available out there with a cool interface and feature-rich environment. We have to try one of them now to get the Clubhouse app on your Intel Mac.

On your Mac, head to the Clubdeck app website and download the Clubdeck Clubhouse client for Mac.
