Hosts will have the ability to record up to 30 seconds of audio. Of course, they can tweet that snippet. The clips are available to all iOS users.
Since January, all hosts have been able to record their Spaces. The ability to tweet small snippets of their discussions could allow them to provide other Twitter users with insight into what their Spaces are all about, potentially expanding their audiences.
