If Twitter isn't for you, but you're interested in some of the audio conversations happening on the platform, Twitter is making your life easier.
Twitter is allowing users to share direct links to their Spaces to let others tune in to a live audio session without having to log on to the platform. Keep reading to find out how to access Twitter Spaces without a Twitter account.
Twitter Is Allowing People to Listen to Spaces Using a Direct Link
Twitter has launched a feature that makes it possible for you to tune in to Spaces without an account by allowing users to share direct links to theirs.
All the host has to do is just share direct links to their Spaces with you, and you can then tune in to their audio discussions. The only downside is that you won’t be able to participate in the discussions; you can only listen.
As popular as Twitter is, the truth is that it isn't for everyone. However, while you may not be a fan of it, you might want to catch up on conversations happening on the platform at any given time to avoid missing out on interesting or relevant conversations.
This is just one of several features launched by Twitter in the last quarter of 2021. Twitter also launched a tabbed view of your feed to make it easier to switch between the top and latest tweets and added a new in-profile search button to help you search through someone's tweets.
How to Listen to Spaces Without an Account
To listen to a Twitter Space discussion without a Twitter account, the host—who has to be a Twitter user—will have to start a Space, create a recording of it, then tap the toggle on Record Space prior to launching a new Space.
At this point, all participants will see a recording icon appear when they enter the Space, which lets them know that the Space is being recorded.
When the Space ends, hosts will have access to the full recording of the Space for 30 days after it broadcasts, during which they can share or Tweet the link. Listeners can choose to share the recorded Space with loved ones or with those on their social media platforms.
Twitter Is Making Conversations More Accessible to Non-Users
Twitter is making conversations more accessible to those who may be skeptical about creating an account.
The new feature is also a way for Twitter users to expand their reach and potentially gain new users outside of its platform, giving Twitter Spaces an edge over rivals like Clubhouse and Facebook’s Live Audio Rooms.
