The Periscope team reflected on the first year of broadcasts, announcing in a blog post that Periscope users watch 110 years of content every day (not counting desktop or in-Twitter views). There have also been more than 200 million Periscope broadcasts since the March 26, 2015 launch.

Periscope thanked its users in a blog post:
