Periscope, many of you will know this curious application that allows us to share via streaming what we are recording with our mobile device. However, many of you did not know what the Periscope was until recent events. Periscope is an application that Piqué (central defender of Fútbol Club Barcelona) has used for a couple of weeks. After the meetings, Piqué performs a free Periscope in which his fans can access to see the ins and outs of the plane back, the food of the footballers after the match and other curiosities. Once again, an application is popularized in the most curious way, and it was not exactly a success in Spain, until now, Periscope is the third most downloaded free application for iOS.
We are not going to bore you with technicalities, Periscope is like broadcasting television from your mobile, a quick and easy way to end our data rate in a matter of hours. In addition, that video will be stored on the server so that those who were not available during the live can see it. What's more, Periscope allows us to interact with the sender through messages and "likes". Here's how its developer sells it:
Periscope allows you to broadcast live video to the world. Going live will instantly notify your followers that they can join, comment and send you hearts in real time. The more hearts you get, the higher they flutter on the screen.
Other features:
- When your broadcast is over, you can make it available for replay so viewers can watch it later. Viewers can replay your broadcast with comments and hearts to relive the full experience. Replays are currently 24 hours long. You can delete your replay at any time.
- If you want to broadcast to specific people, press the lock icon before going live and choose who you want to invite to your broadcast.
- You can choose to share your Periscope broadcasts on Twitter by tapping the bird icon before starting the broadcast. When you go live, you will tweet a link so that your Twitter followers can see it on the web (or in the application)
- MANAGE NOTIFICATIONS: Periscope will recommend people to follow based on your Twitter network. You can always follow new people or unfollow them if you don't want to be notified when they go live. You can also adjust notification preferences in Periscope Settings (under Profile).
- HEARTS - Hearts are a fun and easy way to tell the host that you are enjoying the broadcast. Tap the screen to share the love!
Thus, an application has become a success in Spain thanks once again to the whim of a footballer, this time it is the central defender of the Spanish team. If you want to see Piqué's antics live, download Periscope before the next match.
