This spring, for example, the company began testing this \u201cGo Live\u201d button in its Android application, noting that it would eventually roll out similar functionality to all Twitter users.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re live, people can join the video just as they can on Periscope. They can comment on the video or send reactions (hearts) to show their support. Having the Periscope app pre-installed is not required.<\/p>\n<p>The launch comes at a time when the major social media companies are vying to become the de facto home for live video on the web by rolling out new features at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n<p>Google recently announced support for 4K live streaming on YouTube, for example, and Facebook this week announced plans to make live 360 video available to everyone starting next year. And Instagram just launched live video Stories to compete with Snapchat.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is a bit behind, having just now fully integrated going live into its mobile applications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started Periscope because we wanted to give people the superpower to share live video with an audience. Bringing this capability directly into the Twitter app is an important step because it brings that superpower to the hundreds of millions of people who use Twitter,\u201d said Kayvon Beykpour, CEO of Periscope, in a statement. \u201cTwitter\u2019s already the place where people go to see what\u2019s happening. With this update, anyone can now broadcast what\u2019s happening live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company says the new feature will reach all users on iOS and Android in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Techcrunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter users will now be able to broadcast live video directly from their mobile apps, thanks to tighter integration with live streaming service Periscope, the companies announced this morning.
