Camera manufacturer GoPro has revealed in a recent announcement that it has partnered with Twitter's Periscope service - which enables smartphone users to create live broadcasts - to give users the ability to broadcast live from their GoPro action camera connected to the Apple iPhone.

According to a blog post published by GoPro, Periscope users who broadcast live from their GoPro devices will be able to share the live broadcasts directly from the Twitter user's feed. As such, the followers of a user will not have to click on any link for viewing the shared video.

About the new feature, GoPro said in the blog post: "Much like a production switchboard, you can use your Periscope interface to flip between the two different camera angles, so even if your broadcast is lacking that heart-pounding action only GoPro can capture, you can still set up a two-camera shot for more dynamic story telling in real time."

However, initially, live streaming from Periscope via a GoPro camera requires users to have the GoPro Hero 4 camera - in Black and Silver color - because no other model of GoPro cameras is supported.

Moreover, the capability to live stream with Periscope with the help of a GoPro Hero 4 Black or Silver camera is currently available only to the users of Periscope app for iOS. Hence, users of the Android version of the Periscope app cannot presently avail the advantage of live broadcasts from GoPro devices.
