In Periscope, one of the applications to make broadcasts The most well-known live streams on the current scene, know that they have to improve in the face of the growing competitiveness And it is that Facebook Live , which also allows direct broadcasts, has all the features to gain a good share of the market. That is why from Periscope they have moved tab and have added a new and desired function: keep the videos of the direct ones beyond 24 hoursHere's how you can save your Periscope broadcasts forever
At the moment it is a test, although the movement seems definitive, being only a preliminary step before what is to come . This has been confirmed by Kayvon Beykpour, the CEO of the application, through a live stream. The executive explained how you can save the videos that we broadcast for more than one day What do you have to do to do that? Simple: put the tag save in the broadcast title
Thus, until they test the correct functioning of this feature, users who want to safeguard their broadcasts forever must include thetag save in the video title, whatever name you want to give the broadcast. With this, the Periscope system will take care of keeping the content always available to be reproduced as many times as you want until the user decides to delete it manually.A whole leap to ensure the contents of Periscope and avoid the ephemeral nature of broadcasts and the use of this application.
For now this is a test or open beta that everyone can use, both in Android as in iOS However, Beykpour has ensured that this system will be provided in the future, presumably with some specific button to ensure the saving of these videos forever anchored to the profile of each user. In the meantime, use the tag in the headline. All this without the need to update mobile applications, which greatly facilitates the process.
It remains to be seen if, together with a button or more comfortable formula than the label, Periscope introduce this feature as well afterwardsAnd it is that, in this way, it is easier to assess a live or broadcast after making it to see if it is worth it or not to keep it forever In addition,Beykpour also discussed the possibility of introducing a completely different feature, allowing users to set periods shorter than 24 hoursto delete your live streams later. Again, issues that are yet to arrive definitively.
There is no doubt that Periscope has begun to compete against FacebookAt this point, both applications have very similar possibilities in terms of live showss, although the audience is still larger in Facebook, where the more than billion users of the social network can watch any direct, while on Periscope only feed on the more than 300 million of users who circulate throughTwitter (owner of Periscope). Of course, with the need to have both apps, not like Facebook. In any case, the direct ones are beginning to stop being ephemeral contents. A step forward or a step back?
