Well, the answer is yes! However, you have to use third-party software. You can use programs like OBS Studio and Periscope. These programs can be used to stream your video and edit it. Listed below are some tips to go live on Twitter on a computer. Just follow these steps to make your live stream as good as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_go_live_on_Twitter_on_a_computer\"><\/span>How to go live on Twitter on a computer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to create a video and broadcast it on Twitter, you&#8217;ll want to know how to go live on Twitter on a computer. Twitter doesn&#8217;t have a native streaming studio, so you&#8217;ll need to download third-party software. OBS Studio is one example. Once you&#8217;ve installed the software, you can start creating and uploading videos on Twitter. To go live, click the blue &#8220;Go Live&#8221; button in the upper right corner of the Twitter window.<\/p>\n<p>To go live on Twitter on a computer, you must have an internet connection and the app installed on your computer. Then, open the Twitter app and log in. Next, choose a new Tweet in the app. Add some text and invite your friends to join. Next, tap the camera icon. Once you&#8217;ve finished adding text, you&#8217;ll have to tap the &#8220;Go Live&#8221; button. You can also turn off the option to let guests join you during the livestream if you want to control who joins you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_OBS_Studio\"><\/span>Using OBS Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OBS Studio is free software that allows you to stream and record live videos from Twitter. This software also allows you to write a short description for your broadcast, which will appear as a tweet on Twitter. Once you&#8217;re done setting up your broadcast, you can click the &#8220;Go live&#8221; button to start broadcasting and notify your Twitter followers. You can also use the software to go live on Twitter from your mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using an older version of Windows, you can download the latest version of OBS and go live on Twitter without paying for the software. It&#8217;s free and compatible with Mac and Windows computers. It features an open canvas for video creation and allows you to mix multiple video and audio sources. The software also allows you to record straight to your hard drive or simultaneously broadcast your live stream. And you can use it to broadcast to popular streaming services as well as to custom RTMP servers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Periscope\"><\/span>Using Periscope<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Periscope on Twitter requires an account on the Twitter website. It can also be used on an iPhone 5c or iPhone 6. There is an Android app for Periscope, but the official Twitter app does not work with mobile devices. Once you have your account set up, you can begin broadcasting. Follow the steps below to set up your broadcast. Then, follow the prompts to make any necessary adjustments to your device.<\/p>\n<p>To start broadcasting, you need to select a location and grant permission to Periscope. You can then choose to broadcast live or privately. Private broadcasts do not show up in your &#8216;Watch&#8217; table and will only notify selected followers. Before going live, you need to click the lock icon to control who can comment. The more fans you have, the higher your position on the &#8216;Most Loved&#8217; list will be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_live_stream\"><\/span>Editing a live stream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can edit your live stream in two different ways. You can edit it on Twitter to add metadata, such as the title, or you can use a third-party software. Some of these softwares even offer interactive features like captions and polls. These tools are extremely easy to use and require no experience with computers. You can edit your live stream in seconds and save it to Twitter for later viewing. After posting your stream, it will automatically post to Twitter as a tweet.<\/p>\n<p>The process is similar to editing any other video. After uploading your live video to Twitter, it will automatically be shared with your followers. Once it is live, you can also save it to your camera roll. To edit the video, go to the Twitter app and tap the &#8216;Edit&#8217; tab. From here, you can add a caption, a description, and even add a location. You can also choose to edit your live stream.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gSS60wo-gZU\" width=\"353\" height=\"197\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Go Live on Twitter on a Computer You might be wondering if you can go live on Twitter on a computer.
