Good news for Twitter Spaces broadcasters – today, Twitter has announced that all Spaces hosts can now record their chats, on both iOS and Android devices.
The functionality provides additional value for your Spaces content, which can now be re-shared to generate more interest, while it will also facilitate broader re-purposing considerations.
As you can see in the above sequence, in order to record your Spaces chat, you need to first switch on the ‘Record Space’ toggle in the set-up process. Participants will be able to see when a chat is being recorded with a red ‘Rec’ indicator in the top left of the main Space screen, with the host able to stop recording at any time during the chat.
Another update on Spaces Recording:

The option for hosts to record is now available for everyone on Android and iOS! When starting a Space, tap the “Record Space” switch to have it available for public playback for 30 days once the Space has ended. pic.twitter.com/fYzaOjQJlF
Once your recorded Space is complete, it will be available for public playback on Twitter for 30 days, while hosts will also be able to download the audio of their Space, which they can then edit into a podcast or smaller audio clips to help promote upcoming shows and content.
It’ll be interesting to see if Twitter’s approach changes under new CEO Parag Agrawal, who took over from Jack Dorsey back in November, and whether Spaces discovery can be improved or maximized in order to build the audio platform into a bigger consideration.
