Periscope goes professional with GoPro capturing

Twitter’s Periscope, the app that allows you to broadcast real-time events through the internet to millions of people watching has just received a major boost from action camera maker GoPro.

Previously, if you wanted to broadcast something through Periscope, you could only use your mobile now. Well, with GoPro’s input, you can now use one of their devices to show off your creations.

“We’ve seen people put their phones in some precarious situations — they’ve been taped to drones, tied to balloons and submerged underwater. Creativity always finds a way, but we wanted to make it a little bit easier. Today, you can broadcast from your GoPro HERO 4 directly to Periscope for iPhone. Keep that phone safely tucked away,” Periscope explained.

As mentioned, you won’t be able to broadcast from your old Hero 3+, as the functionality is only supported by the GoPro HERO 4.

However, you don’t have to download any additional apps, as you simply connect to your GoPro’s WiFi, open Periscope on your iPhone and hit the broadcast button.

If you are feeling really creative, you can try to record multiple camera angles, as you can double tap to switch between your GoPro and iPhone cameras. There’s also a new button that locks your phone screen, so nothing is accidentally pressed while it’s safely in your pocket.

“GoPro enables people to capture and share their experiences in the most immersive way possible, and the integration with Periscope provides GoPro users with a great, real-time platform to share their content,” said Tony Bates, President of GoPro.
