If you are still looking for a clubhouse invitation, you may be lucky enough to jump on the live sound bandwagon via Twitter. No invitation required.
The social network aims to make its audio alternative, Spaces, available to all its users worldwide by next month, the company confirmed to CNET on Friday, following a report first published by The Verge. The in-app feature let users create their own rooms, also known as a space for others to join, as well as share audio clips via tweets and instant messaging.
It’s a ” small experiment focusing on the intimacy of the human voice, ‘Twitter said when it launched Spaces in December.
Spaces is currently available to everyone on iOS and Android for connecting and listening in a room. But the ability to create a room is only available to select iOS users, according to Twitter. The Android beta test for Twitter Spaces begins earlier this month.
“Introducing Spaces,” says the iOS update, sharing: “Now you can tweet and talk.”
Twitter’s Spaces is a less exclusive competitor for Clubhouse, an invite-only audio app that gained notoriety this year after tech experts Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the fast-growing platform that allegedly commands a billion-dollar valuation.
