Twitter Spaces is a fantastic way to hold live audio discussions. Anyone with an Android or Apple mobile device can experience Twitter spaces. However, some Twitter fans don’t know how to find or use it. Finding Twitter Spaces from outside the platform is possible, but we recommend logging in first.
If you don’t know how to find Twitter Spaces, you’re in the right place. This comprehensive guide will answer all your questions.
How to Find Twitter Spaces You Can Join
Finding Twitter Spaces may appear complicated, but it’s actually a relatively straightforward process. You can locate suitable Spaces like so:

How to Find and Use the Twitter Spaces Icon
When the Twitter Spaces feature emerged, users couldn’t use it without logging in first. Today, users can share the Spaces they have made through tweets and links. Hence, anyone can find a Space without signing in to their Twitter account. If you wish to locate many Twitter Spaces, log into your account first.
Twitter simplifies your search by highlighting your friends’ favorite Spaces. Here’s how to find the Twitter Spaces icon and use it to create your first Space:

Note: If you host a Twitter Space, tweet your link to friends by clicking the Share via a Tweet button. Additionally, send the link to your fans via DM. This will allow your followers to join your live audio conversations.
Finding and Joining Twitter Spaces From a Desktop Site
Twitter first designed Spaces for Android and iOS app users. Thus, app users can locate new Twitter Spaces on the Spaces tab. They can also find and enter live spaces by those they follow via the purple ring. Unfortunately, anyone using Twitter’s desktop site lacks these privileges. However, they can find and join a space by clicking links on tweets.
They can also find shared links in their Twitter DMs, email addresses, or social media pages.
Desktop site users can set a reminder if they want to know when a Twitter Space will start. Furthermore, they can search for relevant Twitter Spaces with specific keywords. Lastly, desktop site users can listen to recorded Twitter spaces on their interface.
Managing Your Listening Activity and Presence in a Twitter Space
Did you know that Twitter Spaces are open to the public? Anybody can enter your Space even if they don’t follow you on Twitter. Everyone you have invited into the Space will view one another. A profile of a person participating in a live audio discussion will have a purple ring.
If you want to keep your Space activities private, Twitter gives you that option. Here’s how to manage your activities and presence in your Twitter Spaces:
- Tap the “Profile” icon.
- Click on “Settings and Privacy.”
- Select the “Privacy and Safety” option.
- Scroll to the bottom area and touch the “Spaces” option.
- To block others from your listening activity, disable the Allow followers to see which spaces you’re listening to.
To lock out some Twitter followers from your Spaces, you should remove them. Select the guest list, open a profile, and hit Remove. Click the Block and Remove option to stop a person from accessing your Space and Twitter profile. If you join Space as a co-host, you can remove any user you wish.
