Elon Musk said X, formerly Twitter, will bring video to Spaces, the social network's live audio conversation feature. Musk said the feature will roll out before the end of the year, "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.

He then noted that if many people are speaking on a Spaces session, the video feed will automatically switch to the speaker. Much like Google Meet or other video conferencing services, it will only display the active speaker.

It's helpful to see the body language of the people as they speak… Conveys more information if you can see their face and their body language if they wish to,," said Musk.
Though bringing video to Spaces, X probably hopes it will be the means to further engage with the audience on the social network without having to go to a third-party platform.

It's worth noting that X has just released a totally new feature over summer allowing users to broadcast live video on the social networking site. The feature bears a pretty hefty resemblance to the live video streaming services offered by other companies, including Facebook Live and Instagram Live. 

Since the service called Spaces was launched in 2021, the feature was deemed a direct competitor of Clubhouse, which popularized audio-only conversations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Musk's takeover of the social network has not presented any new changes, apart from renaming the feature from Twitter Spaces to X Spaces. It has now positioned itself to take Spaces beyond audio-only conversations with Musk and X.

This tweet is from Musk, who appeared in a Spaces session hosted yesterday by Mario Nawfal. The Spaces also included Andrew Tate, Vivek Ramaswamy, Alex Jones, and others. Musk appeared in the Spaces session after X reinstated Alex Jones' account on the platform following a user poll. Jones is infamous for peddling conspiracy theories surrounding the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, which claimed 28 lives.
