Twitter and Periscope Add Audio Only Live Broadcasts

Ross Brand with your Livestream Universe Update for Monday, September 10th, 2018.

iOS users can now go live on Twitter & Periscope without appearing on camera. The audio-only broadcast feature provides the same metrics and uses the same interface as Twitter’s live video function. Professor Nez is the host of the #NezNation Live podcast. He says the addition of audio-only broadcasts is a good move by Twitter.

You can listen to recent episodes of #NezNation Live focused on audio content at ProfessorNez.com/podcast.

Speaking of audio, you’ll want to catch the must-see replay of the latest edition of Wirecast Live. Mike Russell of Music Radio Creative discusses audio levels, compression and more with Andrew Haley. Learn how to get the best sound for your livestreams. View on the Telestream Wirecast Facebook page.
