With the latest update to Periscope (A Twitter-owned app), Insta360 Air users can now stream 360° videos straight from the app itself. Now, both Android and iOS users can use it to share an immersive 360° experience with their audience, just by the touch of a button.
The Insta360 Air is a plug-and-play camera that is compatible with Android. It allows users to capture, share, and broadcast 360° photos and videos straight from their mobile devices. In April, Periscope introduced native support for the Insta360 Nano, the iOS counterpart of the Air.
How to do a livestream using Periscope and an Insta360 Air:
- Open the Periscope app
- Plug in the camera to the phone’s USB port
- Start a livestream as you would normally do
Viewers of the broadcast on Periscope and Twitter can drag, swipe, and twist their wrist to explore every portion and angle of your 360° stream.
For more details on how to get the most out of live 360 video, you may check the resources on the Live 360 page, join Insta360’s user group on Facebook, or sign up for the Insta360 community mailing list.
