Periscope has launched a new feature which lets users keep their streamed video for more than 24 hours.
By typing #save into the title of the live stream, users can preserve a copy. Previously, the feeds would be automatically deleted.
The new feature is still in beta testing but is open to the public. CEO Kayvon Beykpour says he is working on a way for users to be able to keep their video without using #stream.
Periscope is in competition with other apps like Meerkat and Facebook Live.
Facebook recently launched a new feature to its Live video capabilities by adding reactions and filters.
The updates on iOS and Android mean users will be able to share live video to a specific group or event.
Live originally launched last year in Facebook’s Mentions app and was released to users in the US in January and outside America in February.
A new video discovery tab will replace the Messenger symbol currently at the bottom of the iOS and Android apps.
Working on supporting broadcasts beyond 24h! Starting now, you can use our public beta by using #save in your title! https://t.co/LsjqsSib7v
