    Twitter Spaces: All Users Can Now Host Their Own Space
  • All users now have access to Twitter Spaces. The Spaces team revealed that users on Android and iOS will be able to establish their own chat rooms. The Clubhouse-style feature, which allows users to create public and private audio chat rooms on the microblogging site, was first unveiled for a small group last year. It is now being seen by a larger audience. Initially, Spaces could only be hosted by individuals who had more than 600 followers on the platform. All users, regardless of their number of followers, can now host discussions on Twitter.

    Twitter Spaces: All Users Can Now Host Their Own Space

    The Spaces team announced the update on Twitter on October 21. Users can begin a Space by pressing and holding the Compose button on their timeline and then selecting the Cluster of dots icon. To activate the mic, press Start your Space. At any given time, up to 11 speakers can be present in a space.

    When someone you follow begins or speaks in a Space, a Purple bubble will appear at the top of your timeline; for as long as the Space is live on Twitter for iOS and Android. You can interact with emojis, check out any pinned Tweets, follow along with captions, Tweet or direct message the Space host, or request to speak when you join a Space as a listener.

    Twitter launched Spaces in late 2020, at a time when audio-based social networking was gaining traction around the world. However, it was first confined to iOS users, before being expanded to include Android users in March of this year. Since then, Twitter has been busy adding additional features to Spaces to compete with the Clubhouse app.

    Spaces was launched on the Web in May of this year. In September, Twitter updated it with recording and replay features; allowing users to listen to audio chats after they have happened. Some features are only available in the Spaces mobile apps; but Twitter is working hard to bring more to the Web app.
