Periscope now allows Android users to broadcast live 360-degree video. This functionality was previously limited to iOS users and those broadcasting through Periscope Producer.
Live 360-degree broadcasts are labeled with a special “Live 360” badge, and they can be watched on both Periscope and Twitter. In a help article, Periscope said web users can watch these broadcasts “on all web browsers except for Safari.”
