Twitter Puts Live Video Center Stage With the Integration of Periscope's Capabilities

Tweets can now host livestreams

Having for the past year pushed the mantra of being the best destination for "live" news and commentary, Twitter is finally integrating live video into its flagship app.

The company is now integrating the capabilities of Periscope into the Twitter app to allow its 317 million monthly users to livestream video straight from a tweet. The feature, announced today, will let users stream live video through the app—or like and comment on others users' live videos—without needing to download the Periscope app.
