Case Study: Periscope achieves simplified operations and global HD live & 360° streaming with Bitmovin Player

Periscope - Customer Case Study

Periscope, Twitter’s live video platform for public and private real‑time expression, needed to simplify its video stack and guarantee high‑quality HD streams to millions of users across devices. Facing the complexity of multiple vendors and the operational overhead that came with them, Periscope sought a single, reliable player solution to deliver consistent live and immersive video experiences.

Periscope selected Bitmovin as its sole player provider; the full‑featured Bitmovin Player supports HLS delivery, VR/360 content, and stream optimization across devices. The change eliminated multi‑vendor headaches, improved global stream quality so users can reliably watch breaking news and live events in real time, and simplified operations—delivering a better, more consistent viewing experience worldwide.
