Twitter Spaces for desktop is a thing
It's only fair to share...
Twitter recently rolled out its Clubhouse-rival and audio chatroom feature called Spaces to Android. It’s only logical to believe that Twitter Spaces for desktop would be coming soon. Now, the company has confirmed that it is working on bringing the audio chatroom to web browsers. The development was first spotted by app researcher Jane Manchun Wong.
According to this tweet, Wong showcased what Spaces preview cards could look like when viewed on the web. While it might look like a secret feature, a Twitter Spaces developer isn’t holding back as they posted some designs of the web version of the chatroom feature.

As of now, Twitter Spaces is only available on mobile, including iOS and Android apps. And, while Twitter is working on bringing the feature to the web, the app from which it is copied is still limited to iOS. Clubhouse is still working on working on bringing its app to Android.
On the other hand, Discord and LinkedIn are the latest ones to have replicated the feature. The former introduced Stage Channels, which make it easier to understand who’s the focus of the conversation and who’s waiting for their turn to speak. It is available on all platforms where Discord is available – Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web.
Facebook was one of the first ones to test the new audio chatroom feature on its apps, but it hasn’t rolled out anything officially yet. Meanwhile, Spotify is using the feature to its advantage by inviting writers, musicians, professional athletes, and globally renowned personalities to produce content ranging from AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions to live discussions and debates. Furthermore, the audio chatroom feature has been embraced by both Telegram and Slack as well.

Anyone can host their Space on Twitter starting April
Twitter’s live voice-based chatroom feature, Spaces – the Clubhouse rival – was launched late last year. Since then, the company has either kept it in closed beta testing phase or rolled it out to a select few users. It was only recently that Twitter expanded the feature outside of iOS to the Android app. However, there might be a significant number of users like me who haven’t received access to host their own Spaces on neither iOS nor Android. That could be changing now.
According to a report from The Verge, Twitter is contemplating letting anyone start their own Space. The report says that they overheard the news in a Twitter Space itself. While the plans aren’t final, the crux of it is that the company is trying to get its Clubhouse rival into a state where anyone can host a Twitter Space starting in April. Meanwhile, if you see a Space on your timeline you can join it at any time.
Twitter Spaces is a new feature, and ahead of the global rollout, Twitter is looking for ways to improve its offering. The company recently revealed that it plans to build a way to natively record conversations. Hence, Twitter could soon allow you to record your Space. It could then be edited and uploaded as a podcast by the host.
“I think it should be a choice,” says Kayvon Beykpour, head of consumer product at Twitter. “If you think that the conversation was worth playing back, you ought to be able to do that. I personally am a little bit more bullish on two things. One, obviously the host should be able to save it and do whatever they want. Maybe you host a Space, you save it, then want to go edit it. You should be able to do that.”
