Twitter’s Spaces feature is arguably the most popular feature that the social media platform has ended up offering, far superseding the usage of Fleets which were often criticized for their lack of originality and value. The manner in which Spaces have been used is quite unique since they are often created to spur healthy debate as well as educate people about a wide range of topics which is something people have used Twitter for historically.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that not all Twitter spaces are going to be the types of events that people should be able to go to freely. After all, some Twitter users might create a space that is only intended for a select few, and the fact that anyone can join any Twitter space that they want to check out has become a bit of a privacy issue.
According to Matt Navarra, Twitter is now experimenting with an option that might enable you to create private spaces because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up improving the versatility of this feature. You can now open Spaces for a limited group of people, something that would very likely increase the usage of Spaces among the average Twitter user and make it useful for more than just academic discussions, music performances or anything else that is of a more public nature.
You will likely have two options in this regard. The first of these two would allow you to limit the audience to people that you are willing to allow in. The second would be even more restrictive and it would only follow your Twitter followers to end up gaining access to the Space. This is an interesting update and it will likely make spaces more valuable to the various users it serves right now.
