A brand new Superfans feature will now show a broadcaster their 10 most engaged viewers called Superfans. With this new feature, users will now be able to identify their most engaged viewers. In this way, broadcasters will get more insight into their biggest fans and build more meaningful relationships with them. Each Periscope Superfan is identified with an icon and a score. In addition to seeing your own Superfans, you can also see who’s got you as a Superfan, or which periscoper have you as one of their most engaged viewers.</ br>
With the new Group feature, periscopers can now broadcast to and share videos with more granular sets of people. This can be especially helpful for sharing broadcasts with close groups of friends and your communities with specific interests for example such as your Fantasy Football crew. Periscope thinks that this will assist periscopers in finding, discovering, and promoting new people in those communities because anyone in the group can add other broadcasters. Broadcast to your groups and share videos with them to keep everyone updated on what’s happening live.
Along with this update, Periscope introduces a more complete web experience that enables users to log in to and join as a member of the audience which allows users to comment and send hearts in any live video. Also, you don’t have to watch broadcasts on mobile devices to join the audience. So lay back, relax and send hearts and comments right on the web Periscope.tv.
Periscope Superfans and Periscope Groups features are now available on Android and iOS devices and on the official website of Periscope as well, so just login and watch.
