Twitter Is Rolling Out Livestreaming 360-Video on Periscope Just Weeks After Facebook Did the Same

But can they keep up with Google?

Two of the most hyped video formats of 2016—livestreaming and 360-degree video—are growing closer and closer together. 

On Wednesday, Twitter announced it's rolling out 360-degree livestreaming to select partners via its Periscope app to allow some users on the platform to share additional angles with their audience. The update also comes just weeks after Facebook announced its own addition of 360 to Facebook Live, which is taking a similar slow release with a broader rollout planned for 2017.
