Twitter launches video apps for Xbox One, Amazon TV and Apple TV

The apps are available for immediate download from the various devices app stores.

Twitter is not the only tech company competing with broadcasters for streaming rights. In addition to seeing the video, you’ll also see other Twitter content surrounding the content.

Thursday Night Football is about to get more social. And you can depend upon Twitter to continue engaging in new partnerships and collaborations to increase the content available to its users. For instance, if spectators at a baseball game tweet videos taken from their seats, viewers at home can pull up one of those videos from their Twitter feeds to watch at the same time as the official live broadcast.

Twitter said that other video content available for the new app will include Major League Baseball and NBA basketball footage, coverage from United States college sports networks Pac 12 Networks and Campus Insiders and from millennial-focused news network, Cheddar.

The sports based streams join Twitter’s already prevalent video sources including Vine for short comedy clips and Periscope for life streaming. Earlier this year, the platform also played host to content from the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

Twitter has been racking up live streaming deals after winning the rights to show NFL Thursday Night Football.

The first game airs live Thursday, September 15. Twitter on Xbox One will be available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Twitter for Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick are available in the U.S. and United Kingdom. While Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire TV Stick will have it available in just the U.S. and the UK. This feature is exclusive to Apple TV. However, Twitter would wish you create an account so that you become an active subscriber on its platform.

The app is already available across the globe. The app is available free of charge to everyone and it doesn’t require you to have a Twitter account to enjoy using it.
