First of all you need to download the application. You can log in with Twitter, your phone or Facebook but I highly recommend to log in with Twitter as Twitter owns Periscope, they are directly linked. You will then be asked if you want to receive Periscope notifications on your phone, this allows you any time to know when somebody is doing a live stream.

When you click on the little globe, a world map will appear to your screen with small red points: these are all the places in the world when people are live streaming. If you are not particularly interested in finding live streams in a particular location with the map, you have a simple list of the live videos without the map, just click on "list" at the top, next to "map". The globe gives you two different views of the different events across the world.

When you have access to the video, you then have the possibility to share it: share on Twitter, with all your followers, or specific friends. You can also copy the link and share it now on Facebook with IOS.

you also have the option to make your broadcast private, by choosing only the people and followers that you want to see your live broadcast.

Give your video a catchy title, you can brand it by including emoji's. Titles can be anything you decide. "First time with Periscope" can be the title of your first video. Don't forget to include any hashtags important to you.

For your first video, my advice is to do just a quick introduction, say who you are, and make it clear and keep it simple. Every broadcast is available during 24 hours.

If you want to find somebody in particular you can do so in the research bar.
