We know what you are thinking- another social media app? Before you dismiss it, be known that Periscope is rival for every platform before it. The founders of Periscope wanted to build a closest thing to teleportation. And periscope is the one! Though the startup behind the app was purchased by Twitter in 2015, the use of periscope is quite addictive and an experience unlike any other.
The instant broadcasting channel in your pocket anytime and anywhere- Periscope is soon going to feel less one sided. On February 4, the Twitter owned periscope shared a new feature that allows broadcaster to bring conversation with unseen participants to standard Periscope stream.
Periscope users can now invite guests onto their stream. The feature seems to bring out deeper interaction with viewers audience. Broadcasters can go live with guests and invite anyone to join. Your guest can be heard by everyone and can drop off at anytime. This gets more interesting as multiple people can have a conversation together and share it with world.
Last September, periscope launched audio-only broadcast, but the latest feature seems to be building that out a bit. You may feel the vibe of radio talk after actually using the feature. And why not, this feature gives opportunity to viewer to really become part of what’s happening or contribute to the broadcast.
Though this feature sits immovably in its experimentation stage, yet they need to perceive how Periscope clients react so they’re sending it out to all iOS and Android clients. On desktop, you’ll have the capacity to tune in to the streams but you can’t participate just yet. The company says that it’s hoping to convey video-sharing to this feature and is playing with these audio call-ins going to the main Twitter application sooner or later in coming future.
