Twitter Spaces Hosting

Purpose

Run a polished X Space from planning through the afterparty. Covers topic selection, scheduling, roles (host, co-hosts, speakers), live moderation, recording, and cutting the best moments into shareable clips.

Workflow

1. Pick the topic and format

• Choose one outcome the Space delivers ("How we cut churn 40% in 90 days"), not a vague chat theme. Outcome-driven titles pull better attendance.
• Add up to 3 topic tags at creation so listeners can find the room.
• Pick a format that fits the goal: interview (host + 1 guest speaker), panel (host + co-host + 2 to 5 speakers), or AMA (open speaker requests).
• Write 3 to 5 talking-point anchors. Bullets, not a script; a read script sounds dead on live audio.

2. Schedule and promote

• Create the Space in the X mobile app: long-press the post composer, tap the Spaces icon, name it, add tags, then choose Start now or Schedule for later. (Hosting is mobile-only; the web client is listen-only.)
• For recurring or high-value rooms, schedule 48 to 72 hours ahead so followers get notified and you have time to promote.
• Post an announcement with date, time, timezone, guest names, and one line on what listeners walk away with. DM key guests personally and repost reminders the day of.

3. Assign roles

• Recruit 1 to 2 co-hosts from complementary audiences. They cross-pollinate listeners and share moderation, which takes the pressure off the host.
• Invite speakers before going live when you can, and brief them on the topics in advance. A short rundown makes the discussion smoother.
• Capacity is fixed: 1 host, up to 2 co-hosts, up to 10 speakers, for 13 speaking slots total.

4. Run the room

• Open with the hook in the first 60 seconds: what this room is about and why it matters.
• Manage from the people icon: invite listeners as speakers or co-hosts, approve mic requests, mute noisy lines, remove disruptors. Co-hosts can do all of this except inviting other co-hosts and ending the room.
• Keep captions on. X generates live captions for the host automatically, which keeps the room accessible.
• Pin a post with the topic or key links so late joiners catch up fast.

5. Close and follow up

• End with a clear CTA: newsletter, DM invite, or the date of the next Space.
• The replay stays available for up to 30 days, but only if you toggled Record when creating the room. Recording cannot be turned on after the fact.
• Thank guests publicly and quote the strongest moments as posts while the room is fresh.

6. Clip the best moments

• During the room, log timestamps of quotable moments. A co-host or mod can keep this list while you focus on hosting.
• After the Space, download the replay and cut clips with the helper below. Replays expire, so the download is the archive.
• Post clips as standalone posts: one hook line, the clip, and a link back to the full replay. Cut 30 to 90 second moments; longer clips lose the feed.

Output Contract

• A named, scheduled (or live) Space with topic tags, roles assigned, and a promo plan.
• A moments log with timestamps from the live room.
• Shareable MP3 clips of the best moments plus a recap post pointing to the replay.

Operating Rules

1. One topic per Space. If two topics compete, run two rooms.
2. Big rooms need a co-host or mod lined up before you go live. Moderation is not an afterthought.
3. Verify guest speakers before inviting them on stage. An open mic on a large room goes off the rails fast.
4. Recording must be toggled on at creation if you want a replay or clips. There is no retroactive record.
5. Clip only what was public. A recorded Space's replay is public by design, but cut any guest who asks to be removed.
6. Platform mechanics change. See references/hosting_reference.md for the details and re-check X's help center before high-stakes rooms.
