Periscope has launched a new feature which allows users to keep their streamed video for more than 24 hours.

Up until now, the feeds would be automatically deleted.

But by typing #save into the title of the live stream, users can preserve a copy.

The new feature is still in beta testing but is open to the public. CEO Kayvon Beykpour says for users to be able to keep their video without using #stream.

He revealed the news in a live broadcast called Farewell Katch.

Katch was a service that allowed users to save streams from Periscope and Meerkat, among other services.

Its more than one million users needed to put #katch at the end of the broadcast title, in a similar process to the one Periscope is now using.

"We were unable to secure the financial resources we needed to continue," the team said in a statement released in April.

They also thanked Mr Beykpour for his support.

Periscope is in competition with other apps like Meerkat and Facebook Live.

Facebook launched a new feature to its Live video capabilities in April by adding reactions and filters.

The updates on iOS and Android mean users will be able to share live video to a specific group or event.

Live originally launched last year in Facebook's Mentions app and was released to users in the US in January and outside America in February.

A new video discovery tab will replace the Messenger symbol currently at the bottom of the iOS and Android apps.
