Twitter will soon begin testing a new feature called Audio Spaces. The feature is similar to the Clubhouse and will bring to Twitter the exclusivity and feel of Facebook Rooms and WhatsApp groups.
The new product will allow a user to gather in dedicated spaces for live audio conversations with another person or with groups of people.
Twitter didn’t reveal how the feature will work when the product was announced earlier this month but some digging by the reverse engineer, Jane Manchun Wong has revealed some specifics about how Audio Spaces would work.
Conversation Control
Wong’s screenshot of the Audio Spaces beta shows that Twitter will enable the same conversation control available for tweets in the feature. This will allow users to configure their Audio space to either be open to anyone who wants to join, only to people they follow or only to people they specifically invite to join.
Multiple User Invite Option
There are also several methods available to add users to the Audio Spaces including Direct messaging (DM), posting a link via tweet or copying a link to shared.
Speaker Controls
Once in the dedicated space, the creator will be able to decide who can speak at any time. From an in-app menu, creators will be able to manage the speakers, adjust other settings, while other users view the rules, share feedback or report the space, among other things.
To limit noise, users will have to enter the space with their microphones disabled but they will be able to react to conversations with a variety of emojis like the “100,” raised hand, fist, peace sign and waving hand.
However, the creator also has the option to unmute everyone in the room depending on the space need and preference.
