Periscope, a Twitter-owned live video streaming app, was launched in March 2015 and by August 2015, just four months since its inception, the service had surpassed ten million accounts.
On Periscope, which is also available through the fourth-generation Apple TV, over 40 years of video is being watched every day. But such a dizzying array of real-time broadcasts can become quite overwhelming after a while.
Has Periscope been tiring you lately? Are you considering leaving the service? If so, this tutorial will help you delete your account with Periscope, explain how deleting your Twitter account affects your Periscope experience and more.
About deleting Periscope accounts
Periscope’s mobile app doesn’t include an account removal feature. And unlike most other online services, Periscope’s web interface lacks tools to delete your account easily in just a few clicks.
Your Twitter and Periscope accounts
If youdeleted your Twitter account, you won’t be able to access your Periscope account and will have to start a new one. That’s because your Twitter account is the key to your Periscope account and a single Twitter account can only access one Periscope account.
“Think about it like the key to your house. Your key won’t open anyone else’s house and if you lose your key, you’re locked out of your house,” explains the company.
“That’s the same with Periscope.”
