Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Twitter have developed their newest feature called Spaces, which is integrated directly into the Twitter app. Space can be used for all users Android.
Spaces is a voice chat feature similar to Apple’s Clubhouse that can be streamed live with other Twitter users. Audiences can become listeners or join the conversation.
Together with the Clubhouse service that inspired it, Twitter Spaces essentially acts on interactive conference calls that connect listeners with friends, favorite creators, and public figures.
When the Twitter Spaces feature was first launched, only a limited number of invited users could create a new space on mobile. However, the ability to launch new Spaces is now available to everyone.
Reported from Tech Crunch, Twitter Space is now open to anyone who wants to host a Space on iOS and Android.
Previously, the company had limited access to hosting Spaces to accounts with at least 600 followers, arguing that they found these accounts to be more likely to have a good experience because they had an existing audience.
How to use Twitter Space for Android
Spaces offers a quick and direct way to communicate with other people. Here are the steps you need to take to use Twitter Spaces for Android:
1. Open the Twitter app.
2. You’ll see the active Spaces highlighted in purple in the strip above your timeline, right next to Fleets. Tap Space to preview participants.
3. Tap Join Space to enter the room and start listening to the ongoing conversation.
4. The speaker will appear at the top of the list. You can request to be a speaker by tapping the Request button in the lower left corner of the screen.
5. Once accepted as a speaker, the Request button will switch to the mute button for the microphone. As a speaker, you can tap the mute/unmute button at any time to start speaking.
6. As a speaker or a listener, you can react to other speakers by tapping the reaction button (heart with a plus symbol) near the bottom right corner.
7. You can tweet or DM a Twitter space to your followers by tapping the share button in the bottom right corner.
Reported from Android Central, to create a Space, you just need to tap the same Plus button to create a new tweet. You’ll see an option for Space next to Photos and GIFs in the pop-up window.
If you create a Space or become a speaker in Space, your followers will see it at the top of their timeline. It should also be pointed out that, currently, all Spaces are public. This means that anyone can join any Space as a listener unless you have blocked the account.
Plus, you don’t have to actively activate the screen or stay inside the Twitter app to listen.
