I had no idea what Periscope was, but i heard Tim Black mention it on his TH-cam channel tonight. So I did a TH-cam search on "What is periscope?" and you were at the top of the list! I can see why, you are a good teacher!
Either I have been living under a rock or something because any app that I find interest in I search on TH-cam and well, well, what a nice surprise that you have a review on it! Love it, thanks Steve!
THANK YOU Steve. The differentiation between a TH-cam broadcast and Periscope VERY helpful. The interoperation involving Twitter I didn't know until this video.
I share healthy, plant-based/vegan recipes and thoughts on Instagram, TH-cam, etc. People will love this for q&a, seeing a live cooking session, or what I eat, trips to grocery store, etc to help them stay motivated and healthy. Think about it we went from text internet to graphics, websites to blogs, then video now live video. It's a predictable progression if you think about it.
+dottotech The Hang With app is waaay better you can make money with your broadcasts...sell digital tickets and receive tips in real-time with the tip jar feature. $$$!
Steve I was with you when you were live & agree that this technology is & will be massive once heads get around it..... Can't wait for its opportunities to unravel. Thanks for your explanation ;)
I have never heard of this until I read an article on a teen using the ap....and I've been on twitter for a long time but only to see what celebrities are up to! LOL. Thank you for your info introduction!
Your name reminds me of one of my favorite television shows. Back in the 1950s there was a game show called DOTTO. Very interesting program. Trying to learn Periscope.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I'm just getting started and this helped SOOOO much. AND - thanks for the reminder about how Periscope can use up a ton of data!!
Tarah Ferguson Great to see your smiling face in the community! Periscope should be right up your alley! *Note to everyone, Check Out Tarah's TH-cam Channel!
Great video....good overview...Im a bit late to the game but just going out today to use Periscope...I live in PARIS and post tons of NON cliched info about the city and have been dying to use the tool. I will check for more, but if you have more tips on how to do high level, compelling live feeds...please send me a note ...all the best! A bientot! david
it means a few different things,its a way of ranking u on periscope, every heart is a like! and it was a way to get u on the 40 most lo💙ed list.but now they changed it to trending,no more loved list,i give tips.@ACE205SOUTH AKA PERISCOPE ACE.
Thanks for sharing! I want to use periscope but I do not have a mobile device yet. I do have wifi. Can you tell me what the basic requirements are for a mobile device. I do not want to spend too much - a basic smart phone/tablet would do. I looked at the Vodafone Smart First 7 which is a cheap smartphone with Android 5.1 Lollipop but someone told me that it is not good for periscope. Thanks
So this is like a broadcast of a group visual-phone call, like a WhatsApp group call that is being recorded & broadcast? Is it "stored" like youtube videos are?
Does the notification really go to Instagram or was that a mistake? I would like to notify my instagram community when I go live! Not sure I am doing this. Please advise.
Darcy Ogandaga Thanks, I use Screenflos, I have a recorded webbinar on how i create my screencasts that you might be interested in, www.dottotech.com/screencasting-sectrets-webinar-opt-in-page-2/
Hey steve really enjoyed seeing the video.. now to get brave enough to do it! What I wanted to ask you about was the cool "Subscribe" and "Patreon" buttons at the end of your video.. How do you get those? It looks so much better than what I am using. Looking forward to hearing from you....
Hi! Thanks for explanation! It s very clear! please if you could help me, i want to know if its possible to upload one video from pc o cellphone, but not alive, one saved previously and play it using periscope. Thanks!!
+Erica Stone I use a Logitech c920 If you are interested, I have a webinar on how I produce my videos. www.dottotech.com/screencasting-sectrets-webinar-opt-in-page/
Didn't hear you mention how 'hearts' appear so I thought I'd let people know that you just tap on the screen to send them (one per tap). One person I was recently watching somehow set it up so on the 5th tap, a bat appeared, so I guess you can do that too although I don't know how. FYI, I had it crash quite a few times the last couple evenings when I was on it, either taking me to the home screen or just blacking out the screen so that I had to turn it off and on to get back in (I used an ipod touch 5). It didn't appear to be due to a high numbers of viewers or anything I else could determine, so it is definitely an app with a few more bugs to be ironed out.
Would love info on saving periscope casts to TH-cam. I don't have a camera roll (Android Galaxy S5) and evidently don't know where my Pericasts are saved or how to save them in the first place
Steve, under the Globe I don't have the 2 choices of List/Map to choose from ? Only the list showing what scopes are LIVE around the globe right now. And in my Profile I can't find any place to edit it ? I think it's different on different phones. But Thanks for the Intro ! Good Stuff ALWAYS from YOU and Sue B. Zimmerman 💕
Uneeqly_ ME Thanks, Maps is frustrating as it is an app that is different in each install and they keep changing it! But keep poking around, it is full of neat and useful features!
Some thoughts about Periscope Thanks for the basic intro to Periscope, Steve. I've been hearing about it lately but only reading, not actually looking at in action. After the watching your Periscope tutorial, here are a few thoughts I'd like to share. At first glance, Periscope looks like a lot of excitement about something that nobody really needs: one more way to waste your time on social media (Internet addiction anyone - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_addiction_disorder). After a few minutes more, it also becomes clear that it has the SAME ULTIMATE PAYBACK of any social platform: - If you use it to add value to the "discussion," then people will want to see what you have to say. - If used right (to add value) it will INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY in the world. - It will still be up to you to figure out how to take advantage of that visibility. Here's a short list I came up with during a "selfie" brainstorm, to ADD VALUE BY USING PERISCOPE: Anything that would benefit by being seen in "real time," such as: - Contests where people have to tune in at a certain time. (This should increase attendance.) - "Behind the scenes" reveals - Special, exclusive product launches - Tutorials - Live Q&As - Live sessions with company leaders - Live sessions with experts - Finally, LISTENING. Among the smartest things you might do with Periscope: - Add it to your "Listening Post" toolbox. -- Listen to your audience. --- Tap into them in real time. -- Crowd source feedback. --- Figure out what they like/dislike. --- What they may want different. The 2 Biggest Reasons to Use Periscope over any of the competitors in this niche: 1. Periscope is owned by Twitter. This gives it a big advantage over any competing platform. Twitter "Social Graph" and Twitter following, for example, are two things you'll only get with Periscope. 2. Periscope is the only platform that provides the capability to record and replay a live stream broadcast (at least for now). Hope this was useful. CW (Claude Whitmyer)
Claude Whitmyer AWESOME take Claude, thanks for that. With you permission I am going to share this on FB and in a few other places. and loop Sue B. Zimmerman into the thread,
Phyllis Khare I did it on iOS, but my Android view is similar, with one big difference the globe does not return a map, and some of the controls are on the top of the screen
hi, I enjoyed watching your video on periscoping..I am working on getting it going,because I am a certified independent consultant, and it would be great way for me to get my business zooming....right...you are great tutorial person. ..nice meeting you tooooo. .
How can you get a full list of all those who viewed your live broadcast? I am only able to see a select few but know that I have more ... We use this data to track attendance for my company.
Hi it's Allen I tried periscope live it didn't let me toggle camera I wanted to use the front of my phone not the tiny view screen at the back is there a way to switch to see your self doing live screen thank you.
Hi! You didn't mention how to turn the video from around the room/setting to yourself. I can't figure how to put the video 'on me'. I am able to 'turn it' on my camera and camera video but not on my Periscope screen.
Sometimes the broadcaster has it set so that only those that are following or those they follow can comment. Other instances they can block all comments. Check to see if you are following or being followed by that broadcaster. I hope this helps.
so my questions is how did you flip the screen so the camera was a facing you. You had a comment stating this in the tutorial that you can "flip" the screen but you never showed how that was done. Nor have I found anyone who shows or tells me how to do this.
J Gipson Once the session begins you tap on the top of the screen to switch cameras. It is pretty self evident, but only once you go LIVE with your session.
I would like to know how to record my live periscope sessions to play later or take the recorded sessions and save them to my computer so that I can watch later or upload to youtube. I have an Samsung android phone. Can you tell us how to do this?
+Roger Van Syoc There's a program called Katch (don't know anything about it) that allows you to publish sessions to your website or blog, too. I've watched a couple of sessions that way on other people's sites.
Roger Van Syoc I just did my first Periscope this morning, and there was an option to save the video to the photo section of my phone. I have an iPhone, so don't know if that option is available on Android.
I had no idea what Periscope was, but i heard Tim Black mention it on his TH-cam channel tonight. So I did a TH-cam search on "What is periscope?" and you were at the top of the list! I can see why, you are a good teacher!
Either I have been living under a rock or something because any app that I find interest in I search on TH-cam and well, well, what a nice surprise that you have a review on it! Love it, thanks Steve!
+David Leon LOL, now I feel pressure to keep it up! I am glad you found us.
THANK YOU Steve. The differentiation between a TH-cam broadcast and Periscope VERY helpful. The interoperation involving Twitter I didn't know until this video.

Thanks so much. I like this. I think people will be more polite when they can be seen (I hope so anyway) 😊
Thanks so much for this Sue and Steve! I will be popping my Persiscope cherry tomorrow at Dev Week 2016 in SF. Wish me luck @codingover40!

Thanks for sharing! I want to use periscope but I do not have a mobile device yet. I do have wifi. Can you tell me what the basic requirements are for a mobile device. I do not want to spend too much - a basic smart phone/tablet would do.

GREAT GREAT video. Very useful
How do I turn the screen around so I can broadcast my Paparazzi jewelry show?
does Periscope have a length limit? This is so amazing
***** Not that I know of, But things like batter life, (your viewers are mainly on phones) and attention span will be factors.
Thanks for the info on Periscope
So this is like a broadcast of a group visual-phone call, like a WhatsApp group call that is being recorded & broadcast? Is it "stored" like youtube videos are?

Do the hearts you give on replay count as if you were giving them watching live?

Steve, how can i save my periscopes to my pc as mp4?
Can you rebroadcast a previous video on periscope live.
Great Job.. Nice to meet you Steve. Have subscribed to your YT channel. Will join you on Periscope!
***** Thanks,, glad you found us!
While you were posting THIS video "how to", were you using one cellphone or two?
Hey steve really enjoyed seeing the video.. now to get brave enough to do it! What I wanted to ask you about was the cool "Subscribe" and "Patreon" buttons at the end of your video.. How do you get those? It looks so much better than what I am using. Looking forward to hearing from you....
+Jimdandy1958 I create them in the video, and then use a spotlight annotation over the graphicthe
Ahhhhh.. makes sense.. thanks.
You can still logon to periscope on older fones
They are aware of it and are starting to block account they see login and bypass the farewell screen.
how do you download a broadcast to post on a website?
can you have a " privet setion" with only the people you want ?
Does my exact address appear, I wouldn't want that to happen yet its a really great app! Well explained i had to subscribe 👍🏻
I trust this man.
I thank you.
Hi! Thanks for explanation! It s very clear! please if you could help me, i want to know if its possible to upload one video from pc o cellphone, but not alive, one saved previously and play it using periscope. Thanks!!
I don't know of any way to do that, it flys in the face of what Periscope is,...Live Streaming.
Is it only for live stream?
Yes
Is there a way to to find videos on periscope that people have done that are not live. Or does periscope only show live videos?
Yeah. Just type in the search what u want. It'll show all the LIVE videos but it'll show all the recorded once that aren't LIVE anymore
for how long can I broadcast?
Hello, love this video! Very informative! May I ask what kind of camera you use? The quality is excellent. Thank you!
+Erica Stone I use a Logitech c920
If you are interested, I have a webinar on how I produce my videos.

Any way to do this on a laptop yet? Good presentation here )
+VibrationsfromMirror no, there is no desktop version it's a mobile only Application
Do you have any updated reports on using Periscope?
+Edwin Dearborn Nope, I should probably do a refresh, but is is not on the schedule yet.
dottotech Look forward to it.
I like your videos but how do you use periscope on a windows 8.1 computer?
Does periscope save the broadcast on periscope for people to view again, or is it just the option to save it on your phone?
Megan Deming For 24 hours I think. But not beyond that
Helpful! Thanks!
I love it!
What does it cost to go to periscope?
Great video
Is there a way to may it private so only certain people can view? Is there a way you can send the broadcast to a private face book page or group?
+Linda Nordlund Not that I know of.
Didn't hear you mention how 'hearts' appear so I thought I'd let people know that you just tap on the screen to send them (one per tap). One person I was recently watching somehow set it up so on the 5th tap, a bat appeared, so I guess you can do that too although I don't know how.

+Living Free Forever Nope but you can save it yourself on your camera roll

Here's a short list I came up with during a "selfie" brainstorm, to
ADD VALUE BY USING PERISCOPE:
Anything that would benefit by being seen in "real time," such as:
- Contests where people have to tune in at a certain time. (This should increase attendance.)
- "Behind the scenes" reveals
- Special, exclusive product launches
- Tutorials
- Live Q&As
- Live sessions with company leaders
- Live sessions with experts
- Finally, LISTENING.
Among the smartest things you might do with Periscope:
- Add it to your "Listening Post" toolbox.
-- Listen to your audience.
--- Tap into them in real time.
-- Crowd source feedback.
--- Figure out what they like/dislike.
--- What they may want different.
The 2 Biggest Reasons to Use Periscope over any of the competitors in this niche:

So it's like a youtube live stream or a twitch stream but it's more portable????
+W00shro0m_L003Tr Similar, but differing in the comments are not retained on the screen, and you can't stream FROM your Desktop.
Good, Informative post.
Have you used Meerkat yet? Curious which platform you like better.
planBdeveloper I have not tested Meerkat, but most people are giving the edge to Periscope.
How do you get your mic sound thru periscope?
You can plug into your phone, There're a variety of mics that work on smart phones
Hi! You didn't mention how to turn the video from around the room/setting to yourself. I can't figure how to put the video 'on me'. I am able to 'turn it' on my camera and camera video but not on my Periscope screen.
+Celestine Johnson You can flip the video by swiping down and using the opion.
This may be a dumb question, but isn Periscope very much like FaceTime?
Can you stream a TH-cam video through periscope?
in Periscope I cannot ever find the box to type a message to the presenter? I can see other peoples comments but I cannot comment. What am I missing?
I have the exact same question! Could it be that I didn't use Twitter?
Sometimes the broadcaster has it set so that only those that are following or those they follow can comment. Other instances they can block all comments. Check to see if you are following or being followed by that broadcaster. I hope this helps.
so my questions is how did you flip the screen so the camera was a facing you. You had a comment stating this in the tutorial that you can "flip" the screen but you never showed how that was done. Nor have I found anyone who shows or tells me how to do this.
J Gipson Once the session begins you tap on the top of the screen to switch cameras. It is pretty self evident, but only once you go LIVE with your session.
yeah it did not appear till I tapped the screen.
Does the recorded material last for only 24 hours?
+Deborah Bridges (Bridges Court Reporting) Yes
