In most cases, the microblogging app Twitter is best known for allowing users to upload posts of 280
characters or less, its team has been working on enhancing the video element of
this service in recent years. Since quite some time, people could post live
streams of themselves.
Now, those using the broadcast
service can invite others to join this stream. Up until now, the person
operating the live-stream can only interact with viewers’ chat messages that
appear in real-time on the display. Thanks to this new feature, which mirrors
the one added to Periscope earlier this year, this has changed. It
allows you to bring up to three people into your video and to turn a monologue
into a conversation. However, you will be streaming only the audio of your
guests, not the visual.
In a post announcing the new feature, the company stated, “Whether
it’s #NBATwitter or #DemThrones, you can discuss your interests with anyone
around the world and actually hear their perspective and reactions in real-time”.
To add someone to your Twitter
broadcast, you just have to tap on the double-face icon at the top
right in the live mode option. This will allow viewers to request to join the
stream. You will then receive a notification if someone asks to participate. If
for any reason, you want to remove a guest, you just have to tap the ‘x’ next
to their avatar.
Invite
people to join your live stream.
