The clips are designed to make the content of Twitter's live audio feature more shareable on the platform, offering the best bits of a live audio stream without asking listeners to sit through the whole thing.
The feature's widespread rollout follows a more limited test that began in March. At the time, the ability to clip a space was only available to a small number of users on iOS, and even then, it was limited to hosts of a space rather than participants. Now that the feature is widely available to listeners, who inevitably outnumber hosts, it seems likely that we'll start to see many more viral clips of Spaces making the rounds on Twitter.

Clips from Twitch streams are perhaps the most popular example, but Amazon also lets you share clips from some of its shows on Prime Video, and YouTube has announced similar functionality in the past. With so much free content available to stream, clips like these offer a helpful sneak peek without you having to commit to watching a long video or live stream.
Twitter has said that a new feature that lets you take a short audio clip from a Twitter space will soon be available on iOS and Android devices. Anyone in a space can make a clip, but it will only be available for 30 days. Twitter web users can’t use this feature right now, but the site says that support is “on the way.” The clips are meant to make it easier for people to share content from Twitter’s live audio feature. They show the best parts of a live audio stream without making people listen to the whole thing. process.
The feature was first tested in March, but only with a small group of people. At the time, only a small number of iOS users could clip a space, and even then, only the hosts, not the people who were in the space, could do it. Now that the feature is widely available to listeners, who always outnumber hosts, we can probably expect to see a lot more Spaces clips going viral on Twitter.
At this time, you can't start a Space on the web, but you can start one on its Android and iOS apps. Here's how to start a Twitter Space on the Android and iOS apps:
Step 1: For Android: Open the Twitter mobile app on your device and select the blue Plus sign icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
For iOS: Open the Twitter mobile app on your device and press and hold the blue Plus sign icon. You have to press and hold this icon because simply selecting or tapping it only brings up the compose box for creating new tweets, which is not what you want.
