X (Twitter) improved live-streaming with a new service that works “reasonably well”, after updating this outdated feature with Periscope’s code.

X owner Elon Musk confirmed on the platform that live video “now works reasonably well” and that users can make their own broadcasts by clicking the post composer’s camera icon.

Twitter incorporated a large part of the live video capabilities of Periscope, the independent application that it acquired in 2015 and which it decided to close in 2021 due to the decrease in users and the cost of its maintenance.

In May, Musk decided to try the live broadcast, so he shared with his followers a video in which he was seen pixelated and that ended up being known as ‘8-Bit Elon’. It was then explained that the feature was based on the same outdated code as Periscope, and that they were looking at ways to improve the resolution of live video.
