Twitter adds Clipping Support to Spaces

Twitter is starting to allow Spaces users to create 30 second clips from their conversations.

Spaces has been slowly adding new features and expanding on additional platforms since its debut. Twitter originally restricted the audio-focused chat rooms to iOS in December 2020, then rolled out to Android in March 2021, and then finally brought them to the web in May 2021.

But even these roll-outs were incomplete. Twitter did not allow some people to host a space until August 2021, for example, and the ability to take up space did not reach all mobile users until January 2022. (And even then, it was not available to Twitter desktop users.)

Adding support for clips is a natural development for Spaces. Twitter itself was founded on the idea of ​​brevity – even though the service has since doubled its character limit and included threads – so Spaces users can extract 30-second clips from their conversations.

Now the question is how long will it take for Twitter to make clips available to other Spaces users. It’s not clear if the claim that clips “coming soon to Android and Web” refers to creating a clip or listening to one; the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
