I have a friend I knew from work who is severely hard of hearing (and we were actually a business phone company). I invited him to Clubhouse and asked him to try Twitter Spaces. We haven't seen captioning work on Clubhouse whereas it's available to all users on Twitter Spaces.

Also, isolated to me or a tiny subset of users - the only way to sign in is with a OTP sent via SMS. The delivery is very spotty for my carrier for some unknown reason (other services can deliver fine). So like right now, I can't log in and have to wait until they quietly restore delivery.

It's unfortunate because the stability of the Clubhouse app is far better than Twitter Spaces. A group I'm with has spent promoting events and it's embarrassing and annoying to have the Twitter Space unexpectedly end for everyone if the app of the "host" crashes.
