Twitter’s iOS app Periscope makes it possible to publish the video image from a GoPro camera directly over the internet. Switching to the iPhone cameras during streaming is also possible.

A GoPro Hero 4 or another model with a Wi-Fi module is required for the connection.

Twitter has put detailed instructions for connecting the GoPro and Periscope app online.

Android users cannot broadcast via GoPro, but the Periscope app is also available in the Google Play Store for ordinary video broadcasting.
