But how do you hide chat in Periscope on the computer? In this post, we will be trying to answer this question. But, before we get there, we will talk about Periscope and its availability on the computer a bit.

So, let’s cut the chase…

How To Hide Chat On Periscope On Computer? What is Periscope?

You should already know that Periscope is a live streaming app from Twitter. However, Twitter actually didn’t make this app. Rather, Twitter bought the app from the main developers for multi-million dollars even before the app was officially released.

 

Right now, this is one of the most popular live streaming video related applications all over the world. With Periscope, you can stream anything right from your smartphone. And, people all over the world can view your broadcast in real-time.

Is Periscope Available on Computer?

Periscope was released as a smartphone application since the beginning. At first, it was only available on iOS. That means you would only be able to install it on your iPhone, or iPad. However, later, with the huge success of this application in the Apple App Store, Twitter released this app on Android as well. So, right now, you can use this app on your Android smartphone as well.

 

But is it available for using in Windows or Mac? Unfortunately, there is no app on Windows or Mac of Periscope. However, luckily, you can use Periscope on your PC in a different way. In this case, you will have to use the web version of Periscope. In this version, you can directly watch your favorite streams from the browser of your PC.
