It will show up in the Twitter feed, but not in support apps such as Tweetdeck or Hootsuite.To use it, open Periscope. Write something about the broadcast before you begin, so followers can understand what’s going on.As a precaution, have someone with an open Twitter feed checking to make sure your orientation is correct. I have seen many folks using a landscape orientation, which, in Twitter land, isn’t necessary.And, if viewers want to add live comments or “heart” a broadcast, they still will have to open the Periscope app.New features on Playbuzz.
