Twitter has integrated Periscope live functionality to everyone on Android and iOS through a “Live Periscope”button.
On Wednesday, The micro blogging site tweeted out saying, “Ready to go live?” Now everyone can tap a new button on iOS & Android to easily broadcast on #Periscope from Twitter!”
Earlier, Twitter has started testing its Periscope button for a small percentage of Android and iOS users. Periscope users will be able to live stream from Twitter itself, without needing to switch to Periscope. However, users who are not on Periscope will need to download the app first.
Twitter will now provide its users with an option of adding a photo, a video, or to go live Periscope. However, it will prompt the users to download the Periscope app.
