Hosts Of Twitter Spaces Now Able To Download Audio

Twitter has been working on audio download options for the past few months and will likely, eventually let Spaces Hosts Download on the Audio File of their Space.

In a recent feature update that it’s added to its spaces option, Twitter stated that recording of spaces (hosted in the past 30 days) are now available for hosts and that the features can be found in the ‘data’ folder of your data download.

This could be a big addition for those learning into the audio social trend since you can now download your space’s audio through the process.

In order to access the audio which Twitter keeps on file for 30n days for potential purposes, users will need to download their personal data files, which Twitter will provide for you on request via the ‘Your Account’ section in your profile settings.

After the download, you can tap ‘Request Archive’ from the’ Download and Archive of your data section in order to get a zip file of all the data that Twitter has on you, which includes your Spaces audio.

Your Space Audio could take up to 24 hours before landing in the ‘Data’ folder within the zip after you’ve requested your archive.

This feature comes with a lot of advantages since you will not have to download all your Twitter info in order to access the audio file thus providing more utility and value for Spaces. People will be able to re-purpose that audio content to expand their audience reach and boost connection with those who may not have been able to tune in live.

Twitter is also looking into concerns such as potential complexities within such recordings and will likely add in a consent option of some kind for such purpose, As part of the Space usage agreement. The onus, for example, is on the Spaces host to ensure that all speakers are okay with any re-use, particularly for commercial purposes.

This announcement was part of a longer tweet chain outlining recent updates for spaces, including space scheduling, the development of the new Spaces tab in the app, the capacity to tune in via desktop PCs, and new options on how pinned and shared tweets are displayed within a space.

While clubhouse started the audio social trend, as of right now, it does seem like Twitter is leading the way, with the reach and engagement potential of Spaces much higher than clubhouse rooms and improved functionality including discoverability which is a growing challenge for clubhouse as it continues to expand.

Twitter Spaces still remains the leader and continues to evolve these tools to provide more options for your own broadcasts and new ways to engage and interact with your online communities.
