I did a few broadcasts for suggestions from people recently and wanted to help Periscope HQ and users with their user experience on this amazing platform…

There where a lot of comments and suggestions and I thank you all for giving your input. I added my comments as well on what I think will be great.

Here we go:

1. Read comments in the box: Because the comments go so quickly sometimes you miss them, it will be good if you can go back and read comments. I personally love doing Q&A’s and I don’t like missing people’s questions that’s why I believe it’s good.
2. Mute people: I follow quite a lot of people for example but sometimes getting notifications on silly broadcasts annoys me, so it will be good if we had an option to mute some users. When we go into the app we can see what’s broadcasting.
3. People on web to be able to comment & give hearts: Today there was an update for the web, that people can read your comments which is excellent, but how about comments on the web. I know it gets complicated because users have to create an account but it will add a lot of value to people who broadcast.
6. Relevance on global broadcasts: This is very important I believe. Under global maybe have local broadcasts. Maybe add Countries and Cities to choose for.
7. Change username: I can’t stress this one enough. People ask me all the time how to change username. It’s a must.
8. Link to website: Straight forward
9. See if the person is following you: Like on twitter you can see if the person is following you so you can decide to follow back or not.
11. Last watched section: If I watched 5 streams I want to go back and watch it again after 24 hours.
12. Landscape mode: I think it’s simple, might get complicated with the comments.
13. Search by categories: If I want to watch broadcasts on marketing, advertising, comedy or any other interests. Like Vine has.
14. Share your video on Facebook and twitter: I believe this is fundamental.
15. Give only 1 heart per 30 seconds because it’s annoying: People are saying that it’s annoying when others get obsessed with hearts.
16. Fast forward periscopes on replay: Especially the introductions and the asking for hearts part.
17. Weed out junk: All the foolishness that some people are doing.
20. When people invite others able to delete or hide
21. Turn down the alert: I think it goes hand in hand with the second one.
22. Attachments of pictures: This one is a big one, I know it will take a lot of hosting space and maybe a bit messy. If there is a solution to that, it would be great.
That’s all our comments Periscope, thank you for reading and we hope that you will implement them.
