Twitter users will now be able to broadcast live video directly from their mobile apps, thanks to tighter integration with live streaming service\u00a0Periscope, the companies\u00a0announced<\/a> this morning. Through updated iOS and Android applications, rolling out shortly, you\u2019ll be able to tap a \u201cLIVE\u201d button directly from the compose screen where\u00a0you write\u00a0tweets, in order to launch the camera and start\u00a0your live video.<\/p>\n

Since acquiring Periscope early last year<\/a>, Twitter has been working to make live streaming a more prominent part of its social media platform. Already, Twitter made it possible to watch Periscope broadcasts within the Twitter stream, without needing to launch a\u00a0second app. It also introduced a new type of alert that would notify you when someone you followed began live streaming<\/a>, and it launched\u00a0professional-level tools<\/a> that allow users to stream directly to Twitter from high-end cameras,\u00a0VR headsets and other equipment.<\/p>\n

Twitter also has been working to bring live broadcasts\u00a0to Twitter for some time. This spring, for example, the company began testing this \u201cGo Live\u201d button in its Android application<\/a>, noting that it would eventually roll out similar functionality to all Twitter users.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re live, people can join the video just as they can on Periscope. They can comment on the video or send reactions (hearts) to show their support. Having the Periscope app pre-installed is not required.<\/p>\n

The launch comes at a time when the major social media companies are vying to become the de facto home for live video on the web by rolling out new features at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n

Google recently announced<\/a> support for 4K live streaming on YouTube, for example, and Facebook this week announced plans to make live 360 video available to everyone<\/a> starting next year. And Instagram just launched<\/a> live video Stories to compete with Snapchat.<\/p>\n

Twitter is a bit behind, having just now fully integrated going live into its mobile\u00a0applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started Periscope because we wanted to give people the superpower to share live video with an audience. Bringing this capability directly into the Twitter app is an important step because it brings that superpower to the hundreds of millions of people who use Twitter,\u201d said Kayvon Beykpour, CEO of Periscope, in a statement. \u201cTwitter\u2019s already the place where people go to see what\u2019s happening. With this update, anyone can now broadcast what\u2019s happening live.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company says the new feature will reach all users on iOS and Android in the coming days.<\/p>\n
