Twitter Launches Support for Live 360 Video on Periscope

Twitter has announced the launch of support for live 360 degree video on Periscope.

With 360 video on Periscope, you can experience moments with the broadcaster and take a look around — it’s one step closer to actually being there. Starting today, you’ll be able to join live 360 videos on Periscope and Twitter from some incredible broadcasters — getting front-row access at exclusive events, traveling to places across the globe, and getting up close with well-known personalities.

Live 360 videos are marked with a badge. When you see a 360 broadcast on Periscope or Twitter, you can change the point of view by moving your phone or tapping and scrolling around the screen.

Currently, only a small group of partners can broadcast 360 video. Over the coming weeks Twitter will roll the feature out more broadly. You can apply to join the waitlist here.

You can download Periscope from the App Store for free.
