Frequently Asked Questions About Twitter Spaces
- 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.
- Can other people see my presence while I am listening 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 and people who peek into the Space without entering.
- 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.
- Is Spaces accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing?
- At any point while Hosting, Listening, or Speaking inside of a Space, any person can tap the Show captions button, which will allow them to see live captions (with a few seconds of delay) of any Host or Speakers who have consented to having their speech in Spaces captioned. This event, hosted by FEMA, will turn on captions at the start of the event so that all participants are able to view them.
- Captions only appear on-screen when a person is looking at a live Space. We do not show captions to a person if they have docked the Space to the bottom of their Twitter app or are off the app (although the audio will continue to play).
