If you’re still looking for a Clubhouse invitation, you might be better off joining the live audio movement via Twitter. No invitation is required.
The social network plans to make its audio alternative, Spaces, available to all its users globally until next month, the company confirmed to CNET on Friday, after a report first published by The Verge. The in-app feature allows users to create their own rooms, also known as a space for others to participate, as well as sharing audio clips through tweets and direct messages.
It is “a small experiment focused on the intimacy of the human voice,” said Twitter when launching Spaces in December.
Spaces is currently available to anyone on iOS and Android to enter and listen to a room. But the ability to create a room is only available to selected iOS users, according to Twitter. THE Android beta test for Twitter Spaces started earlier this month.
“Introducing Spaces”, says the iOS update, sharing that “Now you can tweet and speak”.
Twitter’s Spaces is a less exclusive competitor for Clubhouse, a guest-only audio app that rose to fame this year after tech tycoons Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg made appearances on the fast-growing platform that allegedly commands a billion-dollar valuation.
