Twitter integrates live Periscopes into profiles and the timeline

When it acquired Periscope last year, Twitter said the company's live-streaming video would complement its text-heavy timeline with a new category of real-time content. Until now, though, it hasn't been much of a complement: links to Periscope broadcasts appear on Twitter as plain URLs, without so much as a preview of the video being broadcast. , That begins to change today, as Periscope broadcasts start autoplaying (minus sound) in Twitter profiles, timelines, and individual tweets.The changes, which were sneaked into the last update of the Twitter for iOS app, are rolling out globally now.
