Twitter experiments with audio clip sharing from Spaces audio

Source: Twitter

Twitter is trying out a new feature for Twitter Spaces that will allow hosts to share snippets from their conversations. A small number of hosts on iOS already have access to the feature, but it will come to Android and the web in the future. Hosts can clip up to 30 seconds of audio, which they can then tweet out.

A missed opportunity might be offering the option to listeners, too. It'll be one way to draw fresh eyes into your favourite accounts and their Spaces. But since the feature is still in testing, Twitter might include that in the future.

Twitter offers option to record, replay Spaces to all users

After launching for a small group of users last year, the ability to record a Twitter Spaces session is now available to iOS and Android users. Twitter Spaces hosts on mobile will now see the Record Space button in the app. This update allows Twitter users to listen to these recordings after the live session. You can't record on the website version yet, though.

The recordings will stay up for 30 days after they've been published. After that, these recorded Spaces will be deleted. Hosts also get the option to delete these recordings anytime before the 30 days are up.

You can now join Twitter Spaces on the desktop & mobile web browsers

Twitter

As Twitter rolls out Spaces to more users, the social media site has decided to bring its Clubhouse alternative to the desktop and mobile web browsers. Before this update, Spaces was only available on Twitter's iOS and Android apps. But now, users can join Spaces using their browser, whether on a computer, tablet, or phone. Twitter Spaces is also not yet available on the iPad and Mac apps, but the company said it is working on this.

Twitter users with 600+ followers can host Spaces

Twitter Spaces (Twitter)

Twitter continues to take advantage of Clubhouse's absence on Android by rolling out Spaces to all accounts with 600 or more followers. According to the company, "these accounts are likely to have a good experience hosting live conversations because of their existing audience." Spaces offers a live audio experience within the Twitter app, a market that grew during this pandemic because of the app Clubhouse.

Some of the features users can expect to come to Spaces include Ticketed Spaces, where hosts can charge for the events; schedule and set reminders for upcoming Spaces; co-hosting Spaces; improved accessibility features, like customizable live captions; and "more ways to find Spaces," which Twitter is testing already.
