How to Record X (Twitter) Spaces As Listeners or Hosts on Phone and PC?

X (formerly Twitter) users have been able to start a Space as a host via an iOS or Android app, while desktop users can only log into ongoing Space discussions as listeners or speakers.

However, according to @XSpaces, the Create your Space feature was introduced to the web version recently. So, X users can now directly create Spaces as a host on PCs!

For hosts on both desktop and mobiles, X offers a built-in option to keep your Spaces recordings. However, if you are not a host but want to record the discussions you’re interested in, you’ll need to use a third-party recording tool.

In this ultimate guide, we’ll share some helpful recording options and break down the process of how to record Twitter Spaces as listeners or hosts on mobile and PC.

Let’s get started now!

X comes with a native Record Space option and you can see it when setting up a Space from a mobile app. Here is how to record X spaces as hosts on mobiles (Android and iOS) using the built-in feature:

Step 1. Start the X app on your phone.

Step 2. Long press on the post Compose button on your Home timeline and tap on the Spaces icon.

Step 3. Then on the pop-up window, set your target audience and name the topics. Toggle on the Record Space option.

Step 4. Now, press Start your Space. While recording, everyone in the Space can see a red REC symbol appear on the top to indicate that the X Space is being recorded by the host. However, only the host, co-hosts, and speakers are visible in the final recording.

Step 5. Click the top right End button to finish it. Then you can directly tweet it as an X post or share the link with others absent from the live Space.

Thankfully, both Android and iOS phones come preloaded with a screen recording feature. This makes it simpler to record the live Space on the mobile app for non-hosts. Now, let’s get into it:
