[Software]Twitter spaces, this is how the new chat with voice messages of the platform

[SougarLord]

Twitter is going through one of its most critical moments, behind are those times when the company appeared stagnant. The social network knows how to take advantage of the timing of the opportunities and now with other platforms such as “Clubhouse” emerging and going viral, they know that it is time to take out all their artillery to continue being at the top. And now it seems to have found an idea that: audio chats.

A new way for users to participate in a much more comfortable and dynamic way in any type of conversation. The idea was originally aimed at groups of people who are more likely to be abused or harassed through its platform. But over time Twitter Spaces (as the platform has named this function), it seems that it will end up leading to something much bigger. We tell you how it works.

 

Now is when purchases from the past make sense

Surely you no longer remember it, but the social network acquired the Squad app in 2019, a platform that, in short, made it possible to make group video calls and share screen with other contacts easily. A minor app compared to Zoom or Microsoft Teams, but with a different approach.

 

In the same way we echoed at the beginning of 2021, that Twitter acquired Breaker, an app focused on podcasts, but with a more social focus than other platforms. In it, users can share their favorite podcasts and follow other users with common interests. Twitter highlighted that this acquisition came to "create new experiences" in the social network.

 

 

And after all that has been explained, if we mix these concepts a bit, we get to the future that the platform wants with Twitter Space.

Twitter Space: voice chat rooms

It is a function of voice chat rooms in which the hosts or creators of each space will have control to indicate who can go to that space or chat, who has to be expelled for their behavior and even has the possibility of being able to silence users in the chat, space or Space of which it is host.

 

The function is still in beta mode and is being tested with a small number of users with iOS devices, although it is expected to be launched in a short time to take advantage of the boom that other platforms with similar functions such as ClubHouse are having.

 

Once the room is created, users can manage the "room" so that they can open it and make it public or directly invite those contacts that are of interest to them and make a private space.

 

In the room there will be moderators and participants who will be able to choose the way in which they want to participate in the rooms: as listeners only or by publishing their own messages. This new function will include the famous emojis and the different rooms created from the Twitter account can be shared.
