There are dozens of applications in Android and iOS for communication. Recently, services for communication on the air or live broadcasts are gaining popularity. There are many such applications even in the Russian-speaking audience. Take social networks Vk, FB, OK, TikTok – they all allow you to communicate with subscribers and viewers in Live mode. But there is one service that has established itself for a long time and is still very popular among fans of chatting with followers.
Where can I download? User reviews
The service is called Periscope, it is owned by everyone known Twitter, so the services have direct integration with each other. You can download Periscope for Android in the Play Store.
Before downloading, you can look at the reviews of users of the service.
But each case is individual, it is hoped that the developers have fixed all the problems.
When you start the application for the first time, you will be prompted to log in or create a new account.
You can log in immediately if you have an account of one of the social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google. Or you can register an account by phone number. It is worth considering that there will be one account for Periscope and Twitter.
