Twitter Confirms Periscope Will Shut down by March 2021

Periscope announced today that it will end operations as a standalone app by March 2021. It cited a decline in usage in recent years as a driving factor.

Periscope will be removed from app stores in March, and the ability to create new accounts will be disabled with the next software update. Existing Broadcasts that were shared on Twitter will continue to exist on that app as replays. The company is also offering users the ability to download an archive of their content before it all goes away in March.
