What Are Twitter Spaces?

Twitter Spaces is a live audio chat within a room called a Space. The host is the creator of the Space. As host, you can invite 2 Co-hosts and 10 other Speakers to lead the conversation in the Space.

Listeners can send emoji reactions and only speak when given the mic.

Who Can Start a Space on Twitter?

A Twitter account with at least 600 followers can start a Space.

The only limitation right now is that you can only create a Space using an iOS or Android device.

Users who go on the Twitter website using a computer cannot create a Space. They can still, however, join a Space and be a Listener.

To start Ticketed Spaces, you will have to apply first and wait for Twitter to approve your request.

How to use Twitter spaces:

As the host, you can easily manage who can speak and who will be muted or kicked from the Space.
You can have 2 Co-hosts to help you manage the speakers and listeners.
You can pin Tweets to the Space and turn on the live captions so that listeners can follow along with the conversation, even those that have just joined in.
There are sound effects and a voice transformer to make the conversations more fun.
There is a raise-hand emoji that stays visible until it is lowered or the user has been unmuted to keep the conversation going without interruptions.
Ticketed Spaces offer content creators the chance to monetize their efforts.
