Twitter has announced that starting today you can now broadcast live video straight from the Twitter app. The feature is powered by Periscope.
To go live, compose a Tweet, then tap “LIVE” which brings you to pre-broadcast screen where you can frame your shot. When you’re ready, press “Go Live” to start broadcasting. Once you’re live, anyone on Twitter and Periscope can join your live video and participate in your experience. When you’re watching a live video, comment and send hearts by tapping the screen. Hearts show your support for the broadcaster.
The update is rolling out to everyone on Twitter for iOS and Android over the coming days.
You can download Twitter from the App Store for free.
