For example, a few years ago no one would have thought that TikTok could appear. Many thought that nothing would be better than Instagram. Nevertheless, everyone got a great novelty and one of the most popular apps.
Twitter is also keeping up with the trend and trying to surprise its users with innovations. Twitter Spaces have appeared relatively recently. It’s something like Clubhouse but made by Twitter.
Twitter Spaces are platforms for information dissemination and debate. They’re public forums that attract users with different opinions.
Of course, as with any debate, you may feel that some user crossed the line and insulted you in the forum. Fortunately, Twitter has made it possible for both speakers and listeners to report abuse to Twitter Space. You can even report the space itself if you feel that offensive or harmful content is being aired.

What are the main features of Spaces on Twitter
Only users with 600 or more subscribers can create and moderate rooms. Within “rooms”, you can send messages to specific users or the entire meeting, or ask for speaking opportunities.
Creators of audio spaces can moderate the conversation, invite guests, select speakers, and exclude those who violate the rules (you read about this above).
Users can also set a timer to create “rooms”, then a notification comes before the start. There can be a maximum of 10 participants in these auditoriums, although the number of listeners isn’t limited.
You can create an audio room to just chat with friends or discuss with other users with whom you share an interest in a particular topic. There can be several Twitter Spaces utilities, so you better learn how to use this tool to get the most out of it.
Who can talk in Twitter Spaces
As mentioned, not everyone who joins the chat room can talk right away, the purpose of audio rooms is different.
The default setting when you create an audio room says that only invited people can talk. This means that only you, as the person who created the space, can decide who can talk. You must explicitly give them permission to do so. Other options for who can speak are people you subscribe to and “Everyone”.
The host can change who can speak as long as the audio room is alive. They can also allow listeners to speak at any time, and listeners can also request to be able to speak. Organizers can also mute the audio at any time.
