Title:
Once you’ve enabled access to everything needed, you’re taken to the broadcasting screen. First, type in what you’re seeing, which will become the title of your broadcast.
Try to make your tiltle as short as possible. The title of your video
is the only thing separating Periscope users scrolling through the
"Featured" or "Recent" streams section of the app from clicking on your
broadcast. All they'll see is the title of the video and your name.
Because of this, it's vital that your title describe what your video is
and why people should either tune in now or replay your stream later (up
to 24 hours).
Above the Start Broadcast button, click on the arrow if you want to share your location. Click on the lock to start a private broadcast with specific users who follow you or you can chose Public Boradcast.
Sharing:
If you click on the Twitter icon, Periscope will send out a tweet that you’re live streaming on Periscope and include a link to your stream.
Viewers & Comments:
When you start broadcasting, you see the number of viewers in the bottom-right corner and the comments in the bottom-left corner.
Swithcing Camera:
A double-tap on the screen will quickly toggle the active camera. In other words, if the back camera is currently being used, double-tapping on the screen will change to the front-facing camera. You can switch back to the rear camera with another double-tap.
Stop Broadcast:
At the top, there are instructions to swipe down to stop the broadcast or double tap to flip the camera.

When you’re ready to stop broadcasting, swipe down and you’ll see the stats for your live stream and the option to save it to your camera roll. The app will save only the video recorded by your camera to your camera roll, not the number of viewers or comments.
While you’re doing this, the video is uploaded to the app so it’s available to view as a recent broadcast. You can find your recent broadcasts at the bottom of the app’s home screen.
Deleting Broadcast:
Swipe left to delete your recent broadcasts if you don’t want them to be viewed after they’ve been live.
