Twitter will make it possible to listen to Spaces audio rooms outside the social network
Twitter wants to expand the potential audience of Spaces, so the social network is making its audio rooms available to everyone - even those who don't want to set up an account. Presenters and listeners can now send a direct link to a Spaces audio broadcast to anyone they know with whom they see fit to share it. Such "external" listeners won't be able to take part in the conversation, but Twitter obviously thinks that this can lead to an increase in the number of listeners and, as a consequence, an inflow of new users.
have friends not on Twitter? that's weird but now you can share direct links to your Spaces and they can listen in via web without being logged in

Since the site launched live audio chats, it has been adding more and more features to make Spaces easier to share and discover. In July, Twitter engineers allowed users to send new tweets directly from Spaces, and in October the company introduced a Spaces tab on iOS, giving users the ability to find all audio broadcasts in one place. It then opened up the option for everyone to be a presenter, which potentially means more all-around audio shows.
Since not everyone can tune in to live broadcasts, Twitter has also made Spaces audio room recording available to a limited number of presenters on iOS. By recording their sessions, presenters will be able to link to and share them for 30 days, and users can listen to them while viewing their feed.
