After launching Spaces in private beta last December followed by expanding the test to Android soon after, Twitter is expanding Spaces to general users. According to Twitter’s official blog post, Twitter Spaces is live for all users with over 600 followers.
Twitter says it set the cap at 600 followers because these accounts are “likely to have a good experience hosting live conversations because of their existing audience.” However, that doesn’t mean accounts with less than 600 followers will never get Spaces. The company plans to open the gates for Spaces to everyone after improving the discoverability of active Spaces.
Scheduled Spaces with Reminders
Going forward, Twitter will roll out the ability to schedule Spaces. Also, interested listeners will be able to set reminders for upcoming Spaces. According to Twitter, these features will be available in the coming weeks.
