It’s fair to say audio can no longer exist on its own as different media platforms always find an excuse to combine the two when it comes into media consumption.
Billionaire Elon Musk has announced that X, formerly Twitter, will introduce a video feature to Spaces, the social network’s live audio conversation. Musk said X plans to launch the new feature by the end of the year, latest “certainly by early next year.”
“From a feature standpoint, we are working on adding video to Spaces,” Musk said. “It’ll just be a simple thing where you can turn the video on or off.”
According to Musk: “It’s helpful to see people’s body language as they speak… It conveys more information if you can see their face and their body language if they wish to.”
The billionaire went further to say if there is more than one speaker on a Spaces session, the video feed will switch to whichever person is currently speaking, similar to the way Google Meet or other video conferencing platforms display the current speaker.
