Fleet didn’t last long. However, Twitter’s Product team continues to push something new into Spaces. Last year, Twitter launched Spaces as a limited test, and in May expanded the Clubhouse’s clone feature to all users with 600 or more subscribers.
Twitter now allows Space hosts to add 2 co-hosts once they accept the invite. Once invited, they have almost all the same moderation and managing privileges as the main host. They will be able to speak, invite other members of the room to speak, pin tweets, boot people from the room, and more.
However, there are some limitations. Only the main host can invite or remove other users from co-hosts. For example, a co-host cannot invite a second co-host. Only the host can end the room, co-host don’t have that ability.
Twitter also expanded the co-host feature to the number of participants that can talk at once in a Space. That is, Spaces can now accommodate 1 main host, 2 additional co-hosts, and up to 10 speakers.
This new update is already in place and would be helpful to hosts who intend to keep Spaces under control, especially for larger conversations.
Now that Fleets is out of Twitter, Spaces is currently the only function above the main feed in the app. This virtual asset, reminiscent of Instagram stories, draws attention to everything that users want to see in the first place on social media. Twitter has also created a dedicated section to make it easier to find Spaces by displaying live audio rooms in one central location.
Twitter is committed to making Spaces a core in its strategy, and any additions and developments will help increase Spaces usage and expand features and reach.
