Streaming
The application allows you to stream videos for viewers from all over the world. It is possible to launch live broadcasts and get new subscribers.
Creators may post the recording of the live stream on their page. Thus, the videos will be available for one day from the date of release. If necessary, users can make the archive private at any moment.
Additionally
Streaming in Periscope is quite simple. All you have to do is press the record button. As soon as you tap on one, you can start broadcasting and switch between rear and front cameras. If someone takes a screenshot of your video, you will see a flash on your screen.
As a viewer, you can leave comments and likes during the live streams as well as communicate in private chats.
Moreover, it is possible to check recommendations, get notifications, and follow popular creators. The utility analyzes the number of likes on the stream and displays the high-rated videos in trends.
