Periscope Videos Are Now Autoplaying on Twitter

100 million live broadcasts in past year

Twitter is finally showing off how Periscope fits into its bigger video strategy. Starting today, livestreaming videos automatically play in newsfeeds in Twitter's iPhone app, similar to how the microblogging site's native videos and GIFs play.
