Twitter Spaces Gets Clipping Feature On Android And iOS: How It Works

Updated on 26-Jul-2022
HIGHLIGHTS

Twitter Spaces allow 30s clipping functionality now.

The Space clipping will be available on Android and iOS initially, but the feature will come to the web version soon.

Let’s see how the Twitter Spaces Clipping works.

Twitter Spaces can be now shared with your fellow Twitter users. This will make Spaces more accessible. Even the fact that sharing a 30-second clip is easy adds to this accessibility part. The catch is that the extracted clip expires after 30 days. Also, for the moment, the feature is being released on iOS and Android only. The web version will be coming soon though. So, let’s understand the new feature better.

What Is Twitter Spaces?

Twitter Spaces, for the unversed, is a Clubhouse-inspired audio-only conversation feature that’s part of the blue-bird platform. You can be part of Twitter Spaces as a host, speaker, or listener. To host and speak in the Spaces, you have to use the feature on iOS and Android. On the web, you can only listen to the talks. It is open to one and all. 

How To Use Twitter Spaces?

  • Open the Twitter app on an Android phone or iPhone.
  • Press the Plus icon on the bottom right corner.
  • Choose the Spaces option.
  • Next up, is the 'Create your Space’ page by filling in a name and adding topics you are interested in. You can toggle on the record your Spaces option if you want. At the bottom right corner, you will see a calendar icon, tapping which will let you schedule your Spaces. Once you made your choices and are ready, tap on the ‘Start your Space’ button.
  • In the following screens, you can invite people to your Spaces and even promote Spaces by tweeting about it.

 

Now once you have had your session, if you want to promote the thing again, that’s where the new feature comes in. 

But before that, you may also come across Twitter Live Spaces. And if you wonder what that is, here’s what you need to know:

What is Twitter Live Spaces?

Now coming back to the topic at hand, and how it works:
