Twitter Spaces get a new co-host feature to help you spread the load

A new hosting feature, rather than a host of new features.

What you need to know

  • Twitter is making it easier for people to manage Spaces by adding the option to have two additional co-hosts.
  • Spaces can have one host, two co-hosts, and ten speakers all at once.

Twitter Spaces now supports additional hosts, making it easier for people to share the load when they're doing whatever it is people do in Spaces.

Announced via a tweet, Twitter confirmed that people can now open a Space and invite two additional hosts to help out. That also increases the number of people that can have speaking rights, with one host, two co-hosts, and ten speaker slots now available.

making it easier to manage your Space…introducing co-hosting!

- hosts have two co-host invites they can send
- the table just got bigger: 1 host, 2 co-hosts, and 10 speakers

Twitter says that co-hosts can help hosts by inviting speakers, managing speaking requests, removing troublesome people, pinning tweets, and more. There's also a GIF showing the changes in action.

Twitter continues to make changes to a platform that for years barely had any changes at all. Spaces is undoubtedly a clone of Clubhouse, a service that itself has recently removed its invite-only approach to growth. Spotify is another company that has borrowed from the Clubhouse playbook, while even Slack has had a go at implementing something very similar for business users.

Like many of Twitter's new features, people will need to be using the official Twitter app for any of the new Spaces stuff to work. It's far from the best iPhone app in the App Store, but it's improved in recent years. Let's hope it continues down that path as more and more new features arrive that simply aren't available to third-party apps.

Review — Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a fun but repetitive return

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes allows players to revisit the same characters from Three Houses. However, it's very different and will only be enjoyable if you understand that going in.
