Ever wished you could live stream your antics direct from a GoPro camera to the Internet? Now you can, thanks to Twitter’s live video service Periscope. And if you want to see what it looks like, the two companies have recruited BMX star Simone Barraco to show off his skills live from Barcelona this afternoon (you can tune in from 3pm GMT).
Periscope has been around for nearly a year now, and has already proven effective at streaming globally significant events like the protests in Ferguson, Missouri. But this latest tie-in with GoPro could help it make a dent in the action sports market, bringing unedited live footage to Periscope’s 10m+ user base.
Pablo Jablonski, an engineer at Periscope, said: "As a skier myself, I've always loved extreme sports, and I love how GoPro can show us all of the crazy things these athletes can do. As an iOS engineer on Periscope, bringing these two technologies together has been a the fulfilment of a longtime personal wish.”

Battery concerns
The service is compatible with GoPro’s HERO4 Black or Silver cameras at launch, and enables athletes to toggle between broadcasting from their iPhone’s camera to their GoPro directly from the phone screen. The GoPro camera connects to your iPhone via Wi-Fi, and will still record locally on a micro SD card even while broadcasting through Periscope.
