Twitter Voice-Based Feature Called Spaces Goes into Beta
https://techcrunch.comTwitter announced it would soon begin testing a new social experience on its platforms involving audio-only chat rooms, similar to the sometimes controversial startup Clubhouse. Today, Twitter Spaces, as the product is now being called, is launching into private beta testing. During this time, the product will be limited to select individuals, largely from underrepresented backgrounds, Twitter says.
The test will run on iOS during the beta, offering the opportunity for users to participate in host-moderated audio conversations between two or more people.
Hosts on Spaces will also be able to invite people to join a Space through DMs, by tweeting links, or by sharing a link elsewhere. As the test rolls out, everyone can see and join Spaces when they’re invited to do so, but hosts will control who’s speaking.
