I am wondering how accessible Facebook life will be for us: I tried something called Livestream, which is built on the same premise is what I gather Facebook live will be; I could play streams, but had great difficulty starting and stopping a broadcast. I think somehow that live stream is for professionals anyway, since I didn't see anything from individuals.
As for Periscope: don't give up. I get streams from good morning America, lately Steve Harvey, BBC outside source, and from more local sources. Put TV channel listings, or correspondence names in the search place, and see what you get. > On May 4, 2016, at 6:20 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Kerri and others, > > Maybe somebody can enlighten me with respect to Periscope, but I downloaded > the app a week or two ago and checked it out, but all I could find were weird > streams of people sitting in a bar, preaching fire and brimstone or doing > whatever, certainly nothing interesting from maybe official news sources > which I might want to watch/waste my time on.
