According to a Twitter spokesperson who spoke to The Verge, the audio 30 second clips will be available on the platform for 30 days.
Twitter says that for now, only hosts will have the ability to clip and share the audios, but that the feature will soon be available for all users. It is not clear how the company plans to prevent malicious users from clipping audios without giving the full context.
YouTube is testing a similar feature while Spaces rival Clubhouse announced clips way back in September 2021.
