Twitter’s audio-focused chatroom feature, Spaces, has just received an exciting upgrade that will take your hosting experience to the next level. Now, hosts can broadcast live video alongside their audio discussions, adding a new layer of engagement for your audience. This feature was recently noticed by a platform user and later confirmed by the official X account.

For those who enjoy hosting Spaces, this new video broadcasting capability allows you to connect with your audience in a more personal way by turning on your camera and showing your face during the conversation. However, it’s important to note that this feature is currently only available for iOS users, with no official announcement yet on when it will be introduced for Android and web users.

While X (formerly Twitter) already offers live video broadcasting, the addition of video to Spaces enhances the interactive nature of conversations within the platform. Although only the host can go live with their video, other participants can still engage through speaking or co-hosting.

As with any new feature, there are some minor issues that users may encounter while using video in Spaces. Some users have reported experiencing lags when enabling video, and managing a Space in landscape mode can be challenging due to the screen real estate being taken up by the video feed.

It’s worth noting that desktop users joining a Space with a video broadcast will only have access to the audio feed at this time. Additionally, the video feed is only visible during the live session and not available for recorded Spaces which remain audio-only.

The integration of video within Spaces opens up endless possibilities for more dynamic and visually engaging conversations on X. As this feature continues to evolve and reach a wider audience, we can anticipate innovative uses such as virtual events, panel discussions, interviews, and interactive presentations within Spaces. Get ready to elevate your hosting experience with this latest enhancement!
