Twitter’s answer to Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, has just released a new service that users will find quite enjoyable. According to a recent tweet, the social media platform has unveiled a co-hosts section for Twitter Spaces.
The co-host feature adds in another member with the same responsibilities as the host. That is, inviting speakers, managing the chat, pinning tweets, and give anyone causing trouble the boot.
It’s a neat addition to the platform especially for Space accounts that have a huge following and are harder to handle, as co-hosts can basically act as moderators.
In as much as being a co-host comes with a fair amount of power, there are still some things a co-host can’t do. For starters, a co-host cannot invite other co-hosts. They are also not allowed to take over the stream when the host is not able to continue and lastly, a co-host cannot boot the main host of the stream.
A number of major apps introduced live audio rooms into their platforms in light of Clubhouse’s breakout run.
Spotify launched Greenroom, Facebook had its own live audio rooms (and called it Live Audio Rooms) and Discord, a voice-based chat app, also introduced Clubhouse-like event channels. Twitter followed the same trend with the release of Spaces.
Now, Clubhouse is open to everyone, but it already has stiff competition from other apps. The competition just got stiffer with the addition of co-hosts. If co-hosts turns out big, you can bet your money that other apps will follow suit.
