Periscope has confirmed that its live video streaming service is now available on Apple TV. You can now have a full-screen experience on your TV when streaming live, and it will surely be a better experience than their mobile app.

Periscope on your TV will also give you instant access to live broadcasts, from a selection of live broadcasts from around the world without needing to register an account.

Very similar to its mobile app, you can send hearts to the broadcaster and read comments from other people watching with you.

And of course, we’re always working to bring new types of content and new forms of discovery to the platform.”
