Published on October 29, 2021, Twitter is starting to roll out a new feature that allows hosts of its audio chatroom Spaces to record and share the chats with others.
The new functionality, which is initially available to a limited number of Twitter Spaces Hosts on iOS and all listeners on iOS and Android, will enable anyone who was late to a Twitter Spaces broadcast to replay the broadcast once it’s finished if a host has enabled recording.
Hosts will need to toggle on ‘Record Space’ prior to launching a new Space, and all participants will see a recording icon appear when they enter the Space indicating that the Space is being recorded.
Once the Space ends, Hosts will have access to the full-length recording for 30 days after the initial broadcast, during which they can share it or tweet it. Listeners will also have the ability to playback any recorded Space directly from their timeline, as well as share recorded Spaces across their networks.
However, Hosts can delete a Spaces recording at any time, and Twitter will still keep a data file of it for a period of 30-120 days in order to check for any abusive/hateful content.
