Social media is gradually transitioning from Text and image style to audio due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Users would like to “talk more” on social media rather than to “text”. With the invasion of Clubhouse, every social media platform is now finding a way to make audio a possibility.
Twitter this year joined the audio bandwagon by introducing ‘Space’ which is Twitter’s way of saying “talk more” rather than “tweet more”. Space has been a sudden hit by Twitter. The micro-blogging platform is now finding a way for creators tomonetize their Spaces. Today, I hope I can give you every detail you need on how to start your own audio chat room experience with Twitter Space.
What is a Twitter Space
Twitter Spaces are live audio chat rooms that enable creators to open audio conversations on any topic. Creators build new audiences by engaging with their Twitter followers through audio. Anyone on Twitter can join a space. Twitter has made Space available on Android, iOS, and desktop. When a user joins a space as a listener, they can listen to whatever is being discussed in the audio chat room.
