Twitter adds new ways to live stream video

Twitter has announced the Periscope Producer API aimed at developing new ways for users to live stream video content.

Twitter is working on new ways for users to live stream video through Periscope with the newly announced Periscope Producer API, as revealed in a report from The Verge.

The new API is designed to allow developers and companies to create new methods for Twitter and Periscope users to live stream video content from other apps and non-smartphone cameras.

Twitter added a 360-degree live stream feature to Periscope for the Insta360 Air camera in December, and the company says the new API should open up new possibilities for live-streaming via spherical cameras.
