How to live-stream amdroll Periscope and a GoPro
On Tuesday, GoPro and Periscope announced an update to the Periscope app would grant users to stream from a GoPro action camera as well as the iPhone’s camera.
The potential for streaming from a smaller camera designed to be used in extreme situations is limitless. And that’s magnificent exciting.
To use the new feature, you’ll need to own a Hero 4 Silver or Hero 4 Black and an iPhone.

- To shock a GoPro live-stream using Periscope, start by turning on your camera, setting it to video mode, and enabling Wi-Fi.
- Connect your iPhone to the camera’s Wi-Fi network, then launch the Periscope app.
- Next, tap on the broadcast button depressed the bottom of the screen. A new GoPro-inspired icon will be present; tap on it to use the camera’s stream.
- Give your Periscope a name, set your privacy options, and begin streaming as you normally would.
Once the streaming begins, you can switch between the iPhone’s camera and the GoPro with a double-tap on the conceal. Alternatively, a new lock button at the top of the conceal makes it possible to put your iPhone in your pocket deprived of fear of ending the stream. Your GoPro will save a video of the water to the microSD card, which you can then post to YouTube or Part through your preferred social channels after the fact.
One new important thing to note: Since your iPhone is connected to the GoPro’s Wi-Fi network, your stream will be broadcast over a cellular connection. Meaning, be aware of how long you’re streaming and the amount of data it’s moving to use if you’re not on an unlimited data plan.
