On a day where all ears (and eyes) turned towards Apple, as the Californian based company had its usual – yet still surprising maybe – keynote, Periscope also made the news yesterday: it seems like the live-stream social app could be coming to your Apple TV very soon.

Periscope has made a name for itself as THE app for video live streams. Meerkat can confirm. And as it also launched “couchmode” last month, it is clear that Periscope is now as much about viewing than streaming.

As Apple announced an upgraded Apple TV that includes an App Store featuring apps built by third-party developers, rumours have started around Periscope being one of the first companies to join in.

#Periscope will be among the first apps within the new upgraded Apple TV.

We are not in a position to confirm the exact functionality of the app, but it is highly likely to be focused on watching rather than live-streaming, mostly due to the limitations of what the Apple TV – which does not come with a webcam – can do.

The new #Periscope app on the Apple TV is likely to be all about watching streams.

It might not seem like much, but Periscope already counts over 10 million registered users and that could be the argument that won them the right to be featured on the newly launched Apple TV App Store.
