| You can use Twitter to listen to the audio room without an account |
Twitter offers users the ability to share a direct link to the audio room so that others can hear live audio conversations over the network without logging into the platform.
The social media giant said that the new feature targets users of Spaces who have friends who are not on the platform. But they still want to hear about space.
This expansion has opened up Twitter's audio space to more people and given the social media giant a better way to reach new users outside of its platform.
The new functionality also gives Spaces an edge over competitors like Clubhouse and Facebook Live Voice Rooms.
The company has rolled out several features over the past few months to simplify rooms and attract more users.
Last week, the company launched Spaces Recording for testers on iOS, which will then be launched worldwide.
This feature allows the host to define new recording settings for Spaces before starting a real-time audio session.
After the conversation, you can share the recording on Twitter. This way, listeners can play back or share again at any time.
I also started testing Spaces, brought a private Spaces tab for Android users and an update with simpler DM invites. The platform now also shows popular areas in the Explore tab in iOS to increase their visibility.
Direct link eliminates the need for communication
It is worth noting that Clubhouse has also recently updated its platform to better compete with its competitors. Clubhouse has expanded its products to enable asynchronous listening, including support for audio editing, playback, and export.
It also supports 13 new languages including French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil and Telugu.
Live audio is growing in popularity during the pandemic because people all over the world are confined to their homes. However, with restrictions lifted in many countries and in-person events returning, companies offering live audio rooms hope to retain users by introducing new features and facilitating conversations.
