Users have asked and Periscope has delivered. In the latest version of iOS and Android, Periscopers can now hold their phones either in portrait or landscape. Here’s how it works: Viewers can continue holding their device in portrait, or match the broadcaster’s orientation to maintain full screen video. Either way, you’ll never need to tilt your head to watch sideways video.
When they first launched Periscope, they only supported portrait broadcasting. As much as we all love of portrait video, they realized that there are times where the scene you’re trying to capture is best expressed in landscape. In a blog post they said that they know the community has been craving this feature and they wanted to be thoughtful about their approach to ensure a seamless experience across all of our platforms (iOS, Android and Web).
