Six weeks after the ‘live’ video streaming rival to Meerkat, Periscope was launched, Twitter, its owner, has said it was no longer necessary to have a Twitter account to sign up for Periscope.
Making this announcement via a post on Medium, Team Periscope said: Until now, you needed a Twitter account to signup. For existing Twitter users, we recommend signing up via Twitter (we’ll help suggest people to follow based on your Twitter social graph), but we’ve also added an option to signup using your phone number.
Among the other changes introduced were easing the way Periscope users can reply to others. Here’s what the post said: It’s hard to reply directly to people in chat” — We made it easier to reply to somebody’s comment during a broadcast. Tap the comment, hit the reply button, and you’ll automatically be presented with a response including that person’s @handle. Replies that mention you will appear with an arrow.
