Since the launch of Periscope, the streaming video relay service of the microblogging social network Twitter, several large companies have found it to be an excellent idea for their users. The first to realize the possibilities that Periscope offered him was Facebook that quickly got down to business and a few months later launched Facebook Live, although initially limited only to the United States to expand in the rest of the world earlier this year.
Facebook Live is Mark Zuckerberg's bet to offer video broadcasts of users, the media, press agencies, newspapers ... with the immediacy that this implies. One more time, Facebook once again copied its rivalsAlthough Twitter has long since ceased to be a rival, and currently offers practically the same options as Periscope on its social network.
But YouTube had not moved a tab in this regard. Currently Google offers us its own application to be able to broadcast live video through YouTube, but its use has not spread among users as it is not integrated into the video application, but that will change soon as announced by the company yesterday. Apparently Google intends to integrate the possibility of live streaming directly from the video application so that any user, regardless of where they are, can show everything that happens around them.
Once this new service comes into operation, users will be able to view the videos broadcast through YouTube, create playlists, protect them so that they are only available to a small group of users ... In this way, YouTube who encourages the use of this new service between all users, users who will be able to limit the scope of their retransmissions as we can also do with Periscope and Facebook today.
