If you want to use Twitter Spaces, then you can do it as a host or as a guest. If you want to start a Twitter Space, you can only do so with the mobile app. However, to simply join another user’s Twitter Space, you can also use the web app and the desktop app.

Since Twitter Spaces are public, anyone can join. In other words, you don’t have to be following a Twitter account to join their Twitter Space. Currently, there are three ways you can join someone else’s Twitter Space: through Fleets, a Tweet, and a link. Since Fleets are only available on the mobile version, we’ll show you how to listen to a Twitter Space using the other two methods.

To listen to a Twitter Space on the Twitter web/desktop app, follow the steps below:

Note: This method can be used for Windows, Mac, and Chromebook.

The Twitter Space you just joined will appear on the right side of your Twitter home page. If you’re interested in joining a Twitter Space where a particular topic is being discussed, type in “filter:spaces topic” (for example, news, sports, fashion, etc.).

Another way to listen to a Twitter Space is through a link. You can use this method if the host of the Space sends you the invite link to the Space in your inbox. To join their Space, simply click on the invite link and select the “Join this space” button. If you find a Twitter Space you like on your phone, but you want to use your computer to join it, simply send yourself the link to that Space.

The Twitter mobile app offers many more features when it comes to Twitter Spaces. While anyone can listen to Twitter Spaces, to be a Twitter Space host, you must have at least 600 followers.

If you want to join a Twitter Space, you can either participate as a listener or a speaker. When you join a Space by yourself, you can participate as a listener. However, you can also react with emoji’s, go through Tweets other speakers or the host pinned, and turn on the captions.

If you want to participate as a speaker, you need to request permission to be one. To do this, tap on “Request” below your microphone in the bottom-left corner of the Space. Only the host can grant you permission to become a speaker. The host also has the option to invite you as a speaker. In that case, you’ll be asked: “How do you want to join?” You can tap on either the “listener” or “speaker” button.

To listen to a Twitter Space on an iPhone, follow the steps below:

If you’ve received an invite link from the host in your inbox, do the following:

That’s all there is to it. When you want to leave the Space, all you have to do is tap on the “Leave” button in the upper-right corner.
