Twitter Spaces
Twitter Spaces allow you to have a live audio conversation with your community.
Anyone can join, listen and speak in a Twitter Space when they are on an iOS/Android mobile device, but only listen if they are on web. "Anyone" here literally means anyone, including people who do not follow you, and even without having a Twitter account. This means that the listener counts may not match the actual number of listeners, nor will the profile photos of all listeners necessarily be displayed in a Space.
Up to 13 users (including the host and 2 co-hosts) can speak in a Twitter Space at any given time.
Additional Tips
Schedule your Twitter Spaces at least 24 hours in advance, and announce them via a Tweet. This allows time for people to notice it and set reminders to attend if they are interested.
Always ensure that your Twitter Space is recorded.
It is always good to have more than 1 person speaking on a Twitter Space so that it does not feel like a boring monologue. If the Twitter Space is hosted mainly for the Founder to share updates, it is still good to have someone else be a host and make it feel more like a conversation.
You can invite other reputable speakers or projects to join as co-hosts or speakers to try and get more attendees.
You can announce beforehand and do a giveaway during the Twitter Space to try and get more attendees.
Speakers often leave their mics on during the Twitter Space even when they are not speaking, which can result in distracting background noise - always remember to mute them if so, they can unmute their mics if they wish to speak again.
Always remember that you have the power to revoke speaking privileges of other users if they are being offensive/disruptive.
You can use Clipping (on iOS/Android) to cature 30 seconds of audio from any live/recorded Space and share it through a Tweet if the clipping function was not disabled - this allows you to share bite-sized highlights.
You will not be able to host a Twitter Space if you have protected Tweets, but you can join and speak in other people's Spaces, and your presence will be visible to other participants.
