The last point of battle between the giants of social networks is the audience in relation to the videos. Facebook has been trying to conquer your space and keep YouTube more and more away. The proof of this is the functionality of live video, made available to a good part of the users in the last weeks.
For a long time, YouTube has stayed away from live streaming of videos from mobile devices, but it seems that the competition has “forced” a change. Through an official announcement, the world learned that Youtube will provide a new function for its mobile application that will allow users to perform live streams from smartphones and tablets.
Attack on competition
So that the current users of the platforms Periscope and Livestream are not disappointed, the transmission interface will be similar, with the possibility to send comments in real time.
You do not have to open anything else, just hit the big red capture button in the corner, take or select a photo to use as a thumbnail, and you can stream live to your fans and talk in real time
An interesting feature is the possibility to notify your followers that a live broadcast is starting (something that is currently possible with Facebook).
What is the differential?
If you are still wondering why you would Periscope ou Facebook, YouTube says that at the infrastructure level it has an advantage over other services. A key feature is the ability to search for live streams and watch videos that have already been recorded.
When will it be made available to all?
Do not be encouraged yet. YouTube did not say when the new feature would arrive for all users. So far the role is still restricted for some people.
Let's wait to test ...
