Twitter’s live streaming app, Periscope, hits a massive milestone, with founder Kayvon Beykpour claiming the app now has roughly 10 million active users across both its iOS and Android apps. The company reached that number only four months after the app’s launch. At about a month after launch, Periscope was already at one million users, so the last few months have seen exponential growth for the live streaming company.
Beykpour said users collectively watch 40 years worth of content daily on Periscope. And that’s just on iOS and Android — web streams aren’t yet included in the count. “There’s no better metric that illustrates that people like and are using Periscope.”
Beykpour revealed that the app’s team is working on new and requested features like spam control, a fast-forward option, and broadcasting capabilities in landscape format. No launch dates have been announced for any of these upcoming features as of yet.
