You Can Now Save Your Periscope Broadcasts Indefinitely

Periscope
Periscope now lets you save your streaming broadcasts.

Previously, the only option was to let the broadcast automatically expire after 24 hours.

You can use the hashtag #Save in the title of your broadcast to ensure your broadcast does not expire after 24 hours.

Periscope still lets you delete your broadcast at any time even if it has been saved.

If you do not put #Save in the title of your broadcast, your broadcast will still expire in 24 hours. 

Enjoy.

Which App is "Apple's App of the Year" for 2015?

Apple has announced its "App of the Year" for 2015.

It's an app you're already heard about here in One Cool Tip.

one Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.comIt's Periscope.

Periscope lets users "livestream" from their Apple iOS device or from their Android device.

Broadcasting is the next "big thing" for mobile computing.

And Apple's selection of the Periscope app marks a turning point for the capability.

Broadcasting with Periscope is easy to do.

Users can also discover livestreams via a map on the app.

Check it out.

You can download the Periscope app for iPhone HERE and for Android HERE.

Periscope Landscape Mode Now Available

Periscope
Our favorite live-streaming app, Periscope, now offers a landscape view mode for broadcasters and viewers.

Previously, only portrait-mode was available to live stream video.

The new, highly-desired feature is available in updated apps for both iOS and Android devices.

The change is also coming ahead of the newly announced Apple TV that reportedly has a Periscope viewing app.




Periscope Landscape View



As we shared before (Broadcast Live From Your Phone), landscape mode is preferred for video viewing since it displays better on mobile devices, computer monitors and TV screens.  Portrait video leaves black bars on each side of the video when displayed on larger screens.  Check out our tip about taking better videos on your smartphone HERE.

The Periscope for iOS devices can be found HERE and for Android devices HERE.

Up the Periscope - Broadcast Live from Your Phone!

"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" - Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol's famous quote has become possible as millions of people around the world connect to the internet on a daily basis.

And we've already seen the good, the bad and the ugly as some people get their 15 minutes of internet fame.

But there is great potential as video livestreaming becomes a normal and usual app that users utilize everyday.  And Periscope is the new best livestreaming app.

Livestreaming on the net is not new.  But it is a niche that has not had much traction, until now.  Meerkat sxploded on the mobile app scene earlier this year but Twitter's Periscope app is clearly the better of the two apps.

So what is livestreaming?  Livestreaming apps allow users to broadcast live video from mobile devices to one, a hundred or even thousands of viewers.  Think of it as letting everyone become a CNN reporter.

Not all livestreams are CNN-worthy.   But many are well done and.or give viewers the ability to go behind the scenes of special places or events.

My favorite Periscope broadcasts are from the local news teams around the country and the world who broadcast live during morning news shows.  It's a viewpoint average users just never get to see.

Just as mobile phones, pictures and videos have changed how we view the world, livestreaming will become a common activity, especially for dramatic news events.

But Periscope also has the potential for live broadcasting public meetings and events so that viewers can attend important events that might not be covered by local media.

The latest update to the iOS Periscope app lets you look at a map and find local broadcasts.  This is especially useful if you are looking for something that is place-specific.

Periscope lets you follow contacts and be notified when someone is broadcasting.  Maybe it's a key moment in a day, or a trip to the beach or amusement park.  Or at a news breaking events like a fire, protest or severe weather.

Another great feature is the ability to archive your broadcasts - you can save any broadcast so that your viewers can watch later.

You can download the Periscope app from the iTunes store HERE.  And from the Google Android store HERE.
