If we have been commenting on the little battle that Twitter has with your Persicope app Against another known by Meerkat, today we can welcome another very interesting novelty for users of the popular micro-messaging network. A new feature that has a lot to do with the two mentioned apps, especially in what is the ability to offer video recording from the social network itself, even if it is not streaming in real time.
A functionality that it will avoid recording those videos in portrait format, that are usually well trolled on the network when they are uploaded on YouTube, and that offers the user the recording in landscape format from the application itself. Something quite significant that will save us wasting a little time when using the phone's own camera app to use the Twitter one.
Recording in landscape format
If one remembers those times when the official Twitter app for Android left much to be desired, and I had one to relegate in other third-party that really gave all the power to this popular micro-messaging network, now when you look at the amount of updates and news it offers, Twitter has really worked a lot and finally realized that a smartphone is the best tool to use your service.
New functionalities as it was, at the beginning of the year, when you launched the video recording from the application itself, although without the possibility of that landscape format that is adequate to take a special moment with friends or whatever happens around us.
So, now, when you are «dancing» through your timeline, and suddenly divine inspiration appears, and you want to make a video, click on the camera icon, turn the phone in landscape mode and you can take a video for your followers. Easy, simple and straightforward.
The era of videos on Twitter
The same is due to the existing trend of recording videos or even making a live streaming from an application that Twitter recently acquired, and that I have already mentioned above as Periscope. Periscope works quite well and has the great quality that it allows you to return to the video you made in streaming, something that can not be said that if Meerkat does, and that is also used for streaming in real time but forgetting to offer the user the return to play the recorded video.
A small battle between these two apps and it seems that Periscope is finally winning. It is due to the fact that it is behind Twitter so the integration with the service seems to be the master move so that the popularity that Meerkat had at the time is disappearing.
Returning to the great novelty of recording video in landscape format, remind you that you can edit the video to share it properly with your followers on Twitter. Now the question remains about what will be next for this popular social network.
