https://www.periscope.tv/

Periscope is the easiest way to live stream from your phone. Periscope enables you to share what's happening around you — with the whole world or just a few friends — as it happens LIVE.

Periscope is available for iOS and Android. 

What are hearts?

Hearts are a way for you to share your support and enthusiasm with a broadcaster and fellow viewers. If you like what you're seeing, just tap the screen to give the broadcaster a heart!

Hearts are only available in public broadcasts and replays. Hearts given in private broadcasts will not be counted towards your overall heart count. 

Occasionally, we’ll release seasonal or event-specific hearts! If you want to join in, just add the designated hashtag to the title of your broadcast. Also note that if someone takes a screenshot while you're broadcasting, a camera icon will appear on the screen alongside the hearts.
