Periscope Producer API - Connect external cameras & production software to Periscope

This is great. Personally I think that the main use case for these live streaming platforms is the accessibility and interaction layer for live events (a whole new take on TV) rather than regular people 'performing' / broadcasting. Since professional media organizations have already had access to Periscope Producer... it only makes sense for Twitter to open it up for everyone. Well done. 👏👏

Anyone know how to get this to work for a GoPro or YI 4k Action cam? It shows on the page that it will work with GoPro, but isn't specific that I can see and I actually have the YI.

This enables Mevo stream to Twitter!

Really great to see this opening up to the world, and hopefully more people will stream as a result. I think that conventional media companies will have to transform fast, I definitely see the trend steering away from TV and mass media and towards smaller, more specified audiences.

1. How does this compare to already available Facebook Live API? (Other than, of course, the fact that you stream on their respective platforms) 2. Twitter seems to be getting all the Periscope features one by one. What future are they envisioning for Periscope?

This is huge

It's fantastic, I've been using it and love it. More and more news stories, TV Shows and great ideas are showing up on twitter live/periscope. It's becoming more and more sophisticated as time progresses. Cheers 👍🏼

Wow! This is a game changer. Super Dope🚬🚬🚬

I always live stream good talks / discussions whenever I can. The challenge is that of distribution. While Instagram and Facebook guarantees some distribution for me by way of notifications to my friends / followers, Periscope does little to help. I personally prefer Periscope to others in the race but I'd love for them to think about distribution and engagement a wee bit more. That would be awesome!
