Twitter has made a new announcement about integrating live-streaming option within the app. Now all the Twitter users will be able to go live within Twitter and this is completely an attractive step from the company as expected. Till now we use to select the Periscope button in Twitter to use this feature and from now on you can go live without clicking the button. The Periscope button will still be available in the same place where it has been seen till now, but it is not required to click on it which makes the live broadcast very easy as you can do it from Twitter. This whole process of live videos has become much simple now as it is fully hosted in Twitter with the help of live button. Once you select this button you will see a pre-broadcast screen to start the live broadcast stream after entering the required details.
The broadcast screen will also have all the features that were available in the Periscope functionality and you won’t miss any of the features from Periscope. Due to this new update, the users need not download Periscope for live-streaming as it will be available in Twitter app itself. Till now those who were using the Periscope for broadcast, they were forced to use another application to broadcast the live content, but now the process has become really simple. Twitter has added this broadcast functionality within the app that can be used to create and also telecast live content through tweet reaching to more number of people.
The live stream created in Twitter has been saved in Periscope which makes it no available in your ‘Media’ listing. You must need the Periscope account for managing the content used for live broadcast till now from Periscope. After this new broadcast information from Twitter, users will have their entire video in one place without using the Periscope. Twitter has taken too much time to integrate the two options together, but the user can also show all their content in a single profile. The company still needs some time to integrate most of the feature from Periscope to Twitter for making it a complete package for live streaming videos.
Twitter has made a big deal for broadcasting major events such as NFL matches and this would help them to develop a number of new viewers for live-streaming. Twitter had also announced a new option that helps the users to telecast video content from apps to TV screens at home limited to devices such as Apple TV. But here after there will not be any restrictions from Twitter as all the users will be able to see live videos using the app in HD. There are various social media that have been offering its users this kind of service which also includes Facebook, Youtube and more. Twitter had to do something new to attract more users and this integration would really help them reach a new level.
