Listen to Twitter spaces anonymously by creating a temporary account
Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to listen to Twitter Spaces anonymously through another account of yours:
- Sign up for a new Twitter account using a different email address and username. You can even use a temporary email for that.
- Use this account to follow the hosts or accounts that frequently participate in Twitter Spaces. Or if you already know the host, just find the Space.
- Join the Space using this burner account. Since it's not linked to your real identity, you’ll remain anonymous.
Happy listening. You'll thank me later.

Can you listen to Twitter Spaces without an account?
Yes, you can listen to Twitter Spaces even without a Twitter account. But it takes a workaround and maybe a little bit of help, as Twitter doesn't directly let you do it, as shown below:
Here's how to listen to Twitter Spaces without a Twitter account:
Step 1: Wait until the discussion or chat on that Twitter Space ends.
Step 2: Head to the tweet that has the recording of that Twitter Space. Below is an example of what such tweets would look like.
Step 3: Click on the record as you'll need the link of that specific Space, and not the tweet itself. The Spaces links look something like this:"https://x.com/i/spaces/xxxxxxxx"
Step 4: The Space will pop up on the right. Then, find the share button and select "Copy link" among the options.
And no, an incognito browser window will not work, as you'll only be able to view the tweet and not the Space itself. See the screenshot below.
Step 5: Head towards the Twitter Spaces downloader of Circleboom and paste the link of the Space. Then click "Download" and you'll be good to go.
