Periscope Celebrates its First Year, Hits 200 Million Streams

Twitter’s Periscope celebrated its one-year anniversary this weekend by announcing that 200 million broadcasts have been hosted via its app so far, with 100 million in the past three months. “In addition, 110 years worth of live video is watched per day across Periscope’s iOS and Android apps, which represents a 91 percent increase from last August,” reports VentureBeat. While primary competitor Meerkat is pivoting its live-streaming efforts, and new competition is expected from Facebook Live and YouTube Connect, “Twitter has placed a lot of weight on Periscope, especially as it focuses its vision around live events.”
