Twitter launches live broadcasts with audio only
Table of contents:
Do you use Twitter? You probably know that one of the most popular social networks added a very interesting feature a few months ago, that of the direct ones. That's right, any user can broadcast live from the social network in the purest style of Instagram or Facebook. Twitter directs need permission for your camera and you can use the front or rear, but now the company has added a new option to make directs with audio only.
That's right, in this mode the camera is disabled. Therefore, people who enter the broadcast will only see a graphic with the sound, as if it were a live Podcats An acceptable way especially for those situations in which it is not necessary to show your faces, such as an informative talk, etc. It seems that this new option does not have a mode to pass to the camera, therefore, you will only be able to direct audio. Of course, live cameras are not removed.
Sometimes you just want to talk, without being on camera. We're launching audio-only broadcasting, so your followers can hear, but not see you.

It is important to mention that this option is only available on iOS devicesIt is likely that it will reach Android users later, but Twitter has not provided any information about it. Audio streams will save as a post just like the basic version. If you don't see the new option, don't worry, check if you have updated to the latest version. If it still does not appear, wait a few days, it will be available soon.

Starting a broadcast is very easy. You just have to go to the box to publish a Tweet. In the icons in the lower area you will see that it says "Live". Once you click the broadcast will begin and your Followers will be able to see that you are live through a Tweet that is published automatically.
