Spaces Hosts on X Can Now Broadcast Video During a Chat Session
Spaces, or live audio chat sessions on Twitter (now X), now support video, owner Elon Musk announced on Wednesday by reposting a video tutorial by the user DogeDesigner.
When hosts create a new Spaces session, they will see a new option to “enable video,” and can use their phone’s front or back-facing cameras, in either landscape or portrait mode, for their video feed.
