Meerkat and Periscope both allow users to share live-streamed video, and both received a ton of hype when they launched. Combined, these apps have seen more than 580,000 posts, 190,000 users, and 5 billion impressions. Beyond their similarities, these apps have some notable differences; for instance, Meerkat lacks the browsing capability for live streams that Periscope has, and it\u2019s easier to save videos on Periscope.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their different features, both of these apps are great tools to add to your business\u2019s social media arsenal. You can live stream news about your company, such as future event details or product launches. You can also host Q&amp;As, feature product demonstrations, and run flash sales. Take <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brafton.com\/blog\/social-media\/5-brands-using-meerkat-for-marketing\">Red Bull<\/a>, which live streamed a behind-the-scenes view from its half pipe competition, and <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2015\/03\/28\/periscope-twitter-brands-puppies\/\">Adidas<\/a>, which broadcasted soccer player James Rodriguez signing a contract extension with the sportswear company.<\/p>\n<p>Since both apps are relatively new, it\u2019s not yet clear which network is best for specific types of brands. But we do know brands big and small are giving live streaming a shot. Read on to learn how to use both Periscope and Meerkat and more ways to incorporate them into your marketing strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Meerkat?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Meerkat is a live video-streaming app for iOS and Android<\/li>\n<li>It allows users to:\n<ul>\n<li>Share live videos<\/li>\n<li>Engage with viewers<\/li>\n<li>Discover streams to watch<\/li>\n<li>Save streams to your camera roll<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Meerkat users are called <b>Meerkatters <\/b>and broadcasting is called <b>Meerkatting<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Since it\u2019s launch on February 27, 2015 there have been more than:\n<ul>\n<li><b>117,000<\/b> posts<\/li>\n<li><b>26,000 <\/b>users<\/li>\n<li><b>361,210,000<\/b> impressions *As of June 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Meerkat blew up at SXSW:\n<ul>\n<li>Views of streams from Austin, TX reached more than <b>25,000<\/b> per day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Meerkat secured audience take-up in record time and a <b>$14 million<\/b> funding round<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Periscope?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Periscope is a live streaming app for iOS and Android <\/li>\n<li>Twitter acquired it in January, 2015<\/li>\n<li>It allows users to:\n<ul>\n<li>Share live videos<\/li>\n<li>Engage with viewers<\/li>\n<li>Discover streams to watch<\/li>\n<li>Save streams to your camera roll<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Users are called <b>Scopers <\/b>and broadcasting is called <b>Periscoping<\/b><\/li>\n<li>On the same day as Meerkat closed on its<b> $14 million<\/b> in funding, Periscope launched <\/li>\n<li>Since it\u2019s launch on March 26, 2015 there have been more than:\n<ul>\n<li><b>470,600<\/b> posts<\/li>\n<li><b>168,600<\/b> users<\/li>\n<li><b>5,227,153,000<\/b> impressions *As of June 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Use Meerkat<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You must have a Twitter app to use Meerkat<\/li>\n<li>When you press \u201cstream,\u201d your live video stream shows up instantly in your follower\u2019s Twitter feeds <\/li>\n<li>You can see the Twitter profile pictures of people who watch a stream along with any likes or comments\n<ul>\n<li>These comments are tweets, but also live natively in the app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>You can stream immediately, or schedule a time for later<\/li>\n<li>Streams cannot be watched once they\u2019re over\n<ul>\n<li>But the person who streams the video can save it to their phone afterward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Meerkat\u2019s simplicity\u2014for both the streamer and the viewer\u2014has made the app super popular<\/li>\n<li>Tweets announcing meerkats use the hashtag #meerkat<\/li>\n<li>The app takes video vertically (while most other apps use a horizontal layout)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to use Periscope<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Periscope users sign in with Twitter<\/li>\n<li>Periscope will import all your Twitter information including profile picture and bio<\/li>\n<li>Periscope allows users to broadcast live to followers\n<ul>\n<li>Once you start a live broadcast, Periscope will instantly notify your followers so they can join, comment, and \u201cheart\u201d in real time\n<ul>\n<li>Periscope hearts are the way the app measures popularity<\/li>\n<li>You can earn them on both live broadcasts and replays<\/li>\n<li>You can customize the title, location, privacy, who comments, and whether or not the broadcast also posts to Twitter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Unlike Meerkat, where the livestream ends once it ends, Periscope saves broadcasts for<b> 24 hours<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Periscope users can replay them within that time frame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>To end a broadcast, swipe down and click on \u201cStop Broadcasting\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>You can save your broadcasts to view later\n<ul>\n<li>Turn on the autosave function in settings:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Since Periscope is integrated with Twitter it gives users immediate access to their current Twitter following\n<ul>\n<li>Which makes it easy to find friends and to increase engagement on your own broadcasts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Meerkat vs. Periscope: The Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>The number of videos shared from Meerkat and Periscope on Twitter is relatively close:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yet less than <b>half <\/b>of Periscope broadcasts are tweeted out<\/li>\n<li><b>Engagement over the same 8-day period, <\/b>\n<ul>\n<li><b>59% <\/b>of Meerkat\u2019s users shared only 1 video\n<ul>\n<li><b>41% <\/b>shared<b> 2 or more<\/b> videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>57%<\/b> of Periscope\u2019s users shared multiple videos\n<ul>\n<li>Almost 6.5% of Periscope\u2019s users shared 10 or more videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Influence of users:<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Periscope has many more users with more than<b> 10,000 <\/b>Twitter followers<\/li>\n<li>Between April 1 and April 8, <b>3,221<\/b> Periscope users had more than <b>10,000 <\/b>followers\n<ul>\n<li>Only <b>970 <\/b>Meerkat users had more than <b>10,000<\/b> followers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Both apps received a ton of hype when they launched and they\u2019ve seen continued engagement. <\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s clear the general public and businesses want to tap into the world of live streaming. <\/li>\n<li><b>Differences between Meerkat and Periscope:<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>On Periscope, users can pin their location<\/li>\n<li>Meerkat lacks browsing capability for live streams <\/li>\n<li>Livestreams are easier to save (and find later) on Periscope\n<ul>\n<li>Meerkat requires third-party hashtag tricks
