In an announcement that looks like a response to Facebook Live, Twitter has revealed that Periscope is to move into the realms of professionally-shot video content.
Creators will now be able to generate a URL which they can they can broadcast to from all manner of setups, from studio editing rigs to VR headsets.
This opens up a new dimension of possibilities with the platform, and it will be interesting to see whether it can compete with the dominance of Facebook’s now ubiquitous streams.

New and (very much) exclusive
If you feel the pressure to look good in front of your friends on your existing social networks, imagine the stress when you are paying $1,000 every month for the privilege.
A new social network called ‘Rich Kids’ is charging this fee for those who want to create a profile and share content on the platform. A playground of the very wealthy, it also promises to be an enjoyable people-watching opportunity – you can log on and have a look without having to pay using your Facebook account.

Audio 360 comes to Facebook
360 video on Facebook has been around for a while now, and it was time for the audio to catch up. Facebook has duly delivered this week, introducing surround sound for an even more immersive viewing experience.
Facebook say this new development will “replicate how humans hear sound in real life. As audiences move around in a 360 video, the sounds moves around with them, helping to place them in the context of the scene.”
