How to Create a Twitter Space for @pharma_BI for Live Broadcasts
Right now, Twitter Spaces are available on Android and iOS operating systems ONLY. For use on a PC desktop you must install an ANDROID EMULATOR. This means best to set up the Twitter Space using your PHONE APP not on the desktop or laptop computer. Right now, even though there is the ability to record a Twitter Space, that recording is not easily able to be embedded in WordPress as a tweet is (or chain of tweets). However you can download the recording (takes a day or two) and convert to mpeg using a program like Audacity to convert into an audio format conducible to WordPress.
A while ago I had put a post where I link to a Twitter Space I created for a class on Dissemination of Scientific Discoveries. The post
“Will Web 3.0 Do Away With Science 2.0? Is Science Falling Behind?”
can be seen at
Will Web 3.0 Do Away With Science 2.0? Is Science Falling Behind?
This online discussion was tweeted out and got a fair amount of impressions (60) as well as interactors (50).

How to use Spaces
Instructions for:
How do you start a Space?
Step 1
The creator of a Space is the host. As a host on iOS, you can start a Space by long pressing on the Tweet Composer from your Home timeline and and then selecting the Spaces icon.
You can also start a Space by selecting the Spaces tab on the bottom of your timeline.
Step 2
Spaces are public, so anyone can join as a listener, including people who don’t follow you. Listeners can be directly invited into a Space by DMing them a link to the Space, Tweeting out a link, or sharing a link elsewhere.
Step 3
Up to 13 people (including the host and 2 co-hosts) can speak in a Space at any given time. When creating a new Space, you will see options to Name your Space and Start your Space.
Step 4
To schedule a Space, select Schedule for later. Choose the date and time you’d like your Space to go live.
Step 5
Once the Space has started, the host can send requests to listeners to become co-hosts or speakers by selecting the people icon and adding co-hosts or speakers, or selecting a person’s profile picture within a Space and adding them as a co-host or speaker. Listeners can request permission to speak from the host by selecting the Request icon below the microphone.
Step 6
When creating a Space, the host will join with their mic off and be the only speaker in the Space. When ready, select Start your Space.
Step 7
Allow mic access (speaking ability) to speakers by toggling Allow mic access to on.
Step 8
Get started chatting in your Space.
Step 9
As a host, make sure to Tweet out the link to your Space so other people can join. Select the icon to Share via a Tweet.
Spaces FAQ
Where is Spaces available?
Anyone can join, listen, and speak in a Space on Twitter for iOS and Android. Currently, starting a Space on web is not possible, but anyone can join and listen in a Space.
Who can start a Space?
People on Twitter for iOS and Android can start a Space.
Who can see my Space?
For now, all Spaces are public like Tweets, which means they can be accessed by anyone. They will automatically appear at the top of your Home timeline, and each Space has a link that can be shared publicly. Since Spaces are publicly accessible by anyone, it may be possible for people to listen to a Space without being listed as a guest in the Space.
We make certain information about Spaces available through the Twitter Developer Platform, such as the title of a Space, the hosts and speakers, and whether it is scheduled, in progress, or complete. For a more detailed list of the information about Spaces we make available via the Twitter API, check out our Spaces endpoints documentation.
Can other people see my presence while I am listening or speaking in a Space?
Since all Spaces are public, your presence and activity in a Space is also public. If you are logged into your Twitter account when you are in a Space, you will be visible to everyone in the Space as well as to others, including people who follow you, people who peek into the Space without entering, and developers accessing information about the Space using the Twitter API.
If you are listening in a Space, your profile icon will appear with a purple pill at the top of your followers’ Home timelines. You have the option to change this in your settings.
Instructions for:
Manage who can see your Spaces listening activity
Step 1
On the left nav menu, select the more icon and go to Settings and privacy.
Step 2
Under Settings, navigate to Privacy and safety.
Step 3
Under Your Twitter activity, go to Spaces.
Step 4
Choose if you want to Allow followers to see which Spaces you’re listening to by toggling this on or off.
Your followers will always see at the top of their Home timelines what Spaces you’re speaking in.
What does it mean that Spaces are public? Can anyone listen in a Space?
Spaces can be listened to by anyone on the Internet. This is part of a broader feature of Spaces that lets anyone listen to Spaces regardless of whether or not they are logged in to a Twitter account (or even have a Twitter account). Because of this, listener counts may not match the actual number of listeners, nor will the profile photos of all listeners necessarily be displayed in a Space.
How do I invite people to join a Space?
Invite people to join a Space by sending an invite via DM, Tweeting the link out to your Home timeline, or copying the invite link to send it out.
Who can join my Space?
For now, all Spaces are public and anyone can join any Space as a listener. If the listener has a user account, you can block their account. If you create a Space or are a speaker in a Space, your followers will see it at the top of their timeline.
Who can speak in my Space?
By default, your Space will always be set to Only people you invite to speak. You can also modify the Speaker permissions once your Space has been created. Select the icon, then select Adjust settings to see the options for speaker permissions, which include Everyone, People you follow, and the default Only people you invite to speak. These permissions are only saved for this particular Space, so any Space you create in the future will use the default setting.
Once your Space has started, you can send requests to listeners to become speakers or co-hosts by selecting the icon and adding speakers or selecting a person’s profile picture within a Space and adding them as a co-host or speaker. Listeners can request to speak from the host.
Hosts can also invite other people outside of the Space to speak via DM.
How does co-hosting work?
Up to 2 people can become co-hosts and speak in a Space in addition to the 11 speakers (including the primary host) at one time. Co-host status can be lost if the co-host leaves the Space. A co-host can remove their own co-host status to become a Listener again.
Hosts can transfer primary admin rights to another co-host. If the original host drops from Space, the first co-host added will become the primary admin. The admin is responsible for promoting and facilitating a healthy conversation in the Space in line with the Twitter Rules.
Once a co-host is added to a Space, any accounts they’ve blocked on Twitter who are in the Space will be removed from the Space.
Can I schedule a Space?
Hosts can schedule a Space up to 30 days in advance and up to 10 scheduled Spaces. Hosts can still create impromptu Spaces in the meantime, and those won’t count toward the maximum 10 scheduled Spaces.
Before you create your Space, select the scheduler icon and pick the date and time you’d like to schedule your Space to go live. As your scheduled start time approaches, you will receive push and in-app notifications reminding you to start your Space on time. If you don’t have notifications turned on, follow the in-app steps on About notifications on mobile devices to enable them for Spaces. Scheduled Spaces are public and people can set reminders to be notified when your scheduled Space begins.
How do I edit my scheduled Space(s)?
Follow the steps below to edit any of your scheduled Spaces.
Instructions for:
Manage your scheduled Spaces
Step 1
From your timeline, navigate to and long press on the . Or, navigate to the Spaces Tab at the bottom of your timeline.
Step 2
Select the Spaces icon.
Step 3
To manage your scheduled Spaces, select the scheduler icon at the top.
Step 4
You’ll see the Spaces that you have scheduled.
Step 5
Navigate to the more icon of the Space you want to manage. You can edit, share, or cancel the Space.
If you are editing your Space, make sure to select “Save changes” after making edits.
How do I get notified about a scheduled Space?
Guests can sign up for reminder notifications from a scheduled Space card in a Tweet. When the host starts the scheduled Space, the interested guests get notified via push and in-app notifications.
Can I record a Space?
Hosts can record Spaces they create for replay. When creating a Space, toggle on Record Space.
While recording, a recording symbol will appear at the top to indicate that the Space is being recorded by the host. Once the Space ends, you will see how many people attended the Space along with a link to share out via a Tweet. Under Notifications, you can also View details to Tweet the recording. Under host settings, you will have the option to choose where to start your recording with Edit start time. This allows you to cut out any dead air time that might occur at the beginning of a Space.
If you choose to record your Space, once the live Space ends, your recording will be immediately and publicly available for anyone to listen to whenever they want. You can always end a recording to make it no longer publicly available on Twitter by deleting your recording via the more icon on the recording itself. Unless you delete your recording, it will remain available for replay after the live Space has ended.* As with live Spaces, Twitter will retain audio copies for 30 after they end to review for violations of the Twitter Rules. If a violation is found, Twitter may retain audio copies for up to 120 days in total. For more information on downloading Spaces, please see below FAQ, “What happens after a Space ends and is the data retained anywhere?”
Co-hosts and speakers who enter a Space that is being recorded will see a recording symbol (REC). Listeners will also see the recording symbol, but they will not be visible in the recording.
Recordings will show the host, co-host(s), and speakers from the live Space.
*Note: Hosts on iOS 9.15+ and Android 9.46+ will be able to record Spaces that last indefinitely. For hosts on older app versions, recording will only be available for 30 days. For Spaces that are recorded indefinitely, Twitter will retain a copy for as long as the Space is replayable on Twitter, but for no less than 30 days after the live Space ended.
What is clipping?
Clipping is a new feature we’re currently testing and gradually rolling out that lets a limited group of hosts, speakers, and listeners capture 30 seconds of audio from any live or recorded Space and share it through a Tweet if the host has not disabled the clipping function. To start clipping a Space, follow the instructions below to capture the prior 30 seconds of audio from that Space. There is no limit to the number of clips that participants in a Space can create.
When you enter the Space as a co-host or speaker, you will be informed that the Space is clippable through a tool tip notification above the clipping icon.
Note: Currently, creating a clip is available only on iOS and Android, while playing a clip is available on all platforms to everyone.
Instructions for:
Host instructions: How to turn off clipping
When you start your Space, you’ll receive a notification about what a clip is and how to turn it off, as clipping is on by default. You can turn off clipping at any time. To turn it off, follow the instructions below.
Step 1
Navigate to the more icon.
Step 2
Select Adjust settings .
Step 3
Under Clips, toggle Allow clips off.
Instructions for:
Host and speaker instructions: How to create a clipping
Step 1
In a recorded or live Space that is recorded, navigate to the clipping icon. Please note that, for live Spaces, unless the clipping function is disabled, clips will be publicly available on your Twitter profile after your live Space has ended even though the Space itself will no longer be available.
Step 2
On the Create clip pop-up, go to Next.
Step 3
Preview the Tweet and add a comment if you’d like, similarly to a Quote Tweet.
Step 4
Select Tweet to post it to your timeline.

Other controls over clips: how to report, block, or mute
What controls do I have over my Space?
The host and co-host(s) of a Space have control over who can speak. They can mute any Speaker, but it is up to the individual to unmute themselves if they receive speaking privileges. Hosts and co-hosts can also remove, report, and block others in the Space.
Speakers and listeners can report and block others in the Space, or can report the Space. If you block a participant in the Space, you will also block that person’s account on Twitter. If the person you blocked joins as a listener, they will appear in the participant list with a Blocked label under their account name. If the person you blocked joins as a speaker, they will also appear in the participant list with a Blocked label under their account name and you will see an in-app notification stating, “An account you blocked has joined as a speaker.” If you are entering a Space that already has a blocked account as a speaker, you will also see a warning before joining the Space stating, “You have blocked 1 person who is speaking.”
If you are hosting or co-hosting a Space, people you’ve blocked can’t join and, if you’re added as a co-host during a Space, anyone in the Space who you blocked will be removed from the Space.
What are my responsibilities as a Host or Co-Host of a Space?
As a Host, you are responsible for promoting and supporting a healthy conversation in your Space and to use your tools to ensure that the Twitter Rules are followed. The following tools are available for you to use if a participant in the Space is being offensive or disruptive:
- Revoke speaking privileges of other users if they are being offensive or disruptive to you or others
- Block, remove or report the user.
Here are some guidelines to follow as a Host or Co-Host:
- Always follow the Twitter Rulesin the Space you host or co-host. This also applies to the title of your Space which should not include abusive slurs, threats, or any other rule-violating content.
- Do not encourage behavior or content that violates the Twitter Rules.
- Do not abuse or misuse your hosting tools, such as arbitrarily revoking speaking privileges or removing users, or use Spaces to carry out activities that break our rules such as following schemes.

How can I mute a speaker in a Space?
How can I see people in my Space?
Hosts, speakers, and listeners can select the icon to see people in a Space. Since Spaces are publicly accessible by anyone, it may also be possible for an unknown number of logged-out people to listen to a Space’s audio without being listed as a guest in the Space.

What happens after a Space ends and is the data retained anywhere?
Hosts can choose to record a Space prior to starting it. Hosts may download copies of their recorded Spaces for as long as we have them by using the Your Twitter Data download tool.
For unrecorded Spaces, Twitter retains copies of audio from recorded Spaces for 30 days after a Space ends to review for violations of the Twitter Rules. If a Space is found to contain a violation, we extend the time we maintain a copy for an additional 90 days (a total of 120 days after a Space ends) to allow people to appeal if they believe there was a mistake. Twitter also uses Spaces content and data for analytics and research to improve the service.
Links to Spaces that are shared out (e.g., via Tweet or DM) also contain some information about the Space, including the description, the identity of the hosts and others in the Space, as well as the Space’s current state (e.g., scheduled, live, or ended). We make this and other information about Spaces available through the Twitter Developer Platform. For a detailed list of the information about Spaces we make available, check out our Spaces endpoints documentation.
For full details on what data we retain, visit our Privacy Policy.
