Periscope Has 10 Million Users (Kinda)

It also shared a few other impressive stats.

The Twitter-owned app actually hit the 10 million mark on August 2, though its total number of daily active users, also released on Wednesday, are markedly lower at 2 million. The company defines time watched as the aggregate amount of time people spend watching live broadcasts on iOS and Android.

Despite healthy results for the quarter, Twitter faces serious concerns over its monthly active user base.

Beykpour, on a live stream announcing Periscope’s subscriber achievement, said that the unit now has 23 full-time employees and that they are continually working to improve the product and its offerings.

The answer may not be clear-cut, but hopefully as the stars of Periscope speak out, the company, its users, and potential users can find ways to limit the negative effects of sexism. Since then, the once blazing-hot live-streaming app Meerkat has largely been quiet in terms of user chatter on Twitter (at least compared its beginnings). The most notable part of the data is this: Periscope users are watching more than 40 years of video every single day via their Android and iOS devices.

“I like Periscope and want to use it more, but only when I’ve figured out how to protect myself”.

According to Periscope, it cares about “Time Watched”. Just this morning Telstra CEO Andy Penn streamed a presentation on Telstra’s Financial Year results via Periscope, while fashion house Myer is streaming their 2015 Spring Launch tonight via Periscope.

It is worth noting that the lifetime of content does not include the time from Periscope.tv site.

“There’s no better metric that illustrates that people like and are using Periscope”, Beykpour said.

When the short messaging company acquired Periscope back in March the service was going up against Meerkat, which reportedly had around 60,000 users at the time.

He’s considering adding a fast-forward option in replays.
