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.

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.

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.
