DogeHouse Features Explained: Setting Up Rooms, Moderation & Monetization
Overview
DogeHouse is a live audio social app with rooms where people host conversations. Core features include public and private rooms, stage/listener roles, raised-hands and invite-to-stage, text chat, profile follows, room recording (if enabled), moderation tools, and basic monetization options.
Setting up rooms
- Create room: Tap “Create Room” → choose a title and topic.
- Room type: Select Social (followers-only), Closed (invite-only), or Open (public).
- Stage configuration: Host(s) start on stage; hosts can allow co-hosts/mods.
- Invitations: Invite followers, share room link, or pull listeners up via raised-hand.
- Room description and rules: Add a short description and pin rules in room chat or profile.
Roles & permissions
- Host: full control — mute/unmute, invite, remove, end room, set co-hosts.
- Co-host / Moderator: manage speakers, mute, remove, enforce rules.
- Speaker: microphone access to speak on stage.
- Listener: can raise hand to request speaking; limited to listening and text chat.
Moderation tools
- Mute/unmute individual speakers.
- Remove or block users from the room.
- Auto-moderation: keyword filters and rate limits (if available).
- Hand-raising queue to control order.
- Reporting: users can report abusive behavior to platform admins.
Monetization options
- Tips / donations: listeners send one-time tips to hosts (via integrated payment links or third-party services).
- Paid rooms or ticketing: set entry fees for exclusive rooms (if supported or via external ticket platforms).
- Sponsorships & branded rooms: hosts partner with sponsors for paid shows.
- Memberships/subscriptions: recurring support via external platforms (Patreon, Ko-fi) linked in profiles.
- Creator funds or revenue share: platform-offered payouts where available.
Best practices
- Set clear rules and pin them.
- Use co-hosts to share moderation load.
- Preview audio and encourage short introductions.
- Promote monetization links in room description and profile.
- Record important sessions only with consent.
Limitations & privacy
- Recording availability varies; always get consent before recording.
- Monetization features depend on platform integrations and may require third-party accounts.
