Save your Periscopes

Periscope’s latest update lets beta testers permanently save your broadcasts by adding #save to the title. Saved broadcasts will remain online “forever.” Saved videos will also appear in user profiles. There is no limit on the number of videos you can save. Android and iOS users can ask for an invite to try the feature by visiting bit.ly/betascope.

Facebook adds Periscope like features

TechCrunch reports that Facebook is adding a live streaming button to the middle of its iOS and Android apps leading to a dedicated page and a map of live streams. You can choose to stream to groups or events now and viewers can use all Facebook reactions. Comments and reactions will replay when viewed later. Facebook is paying some publishers to stream on the platform. The new button and features should roll out to users over the next few weeks.
