Saving your periscope broadcasts with comments and hearts
Hello there, my sweet friends!!!  I wanted to stop by to share a QUICK tutorial with you and help you to save your Periscope Broadcasts WITH the comments, too!!
If you’re just joining in on the Periscope fun, Angie from Lucky Little Learners and I have put together a few posts full of TIPS for you to get started and to help you to  #flipthecamera!
Click below to check out 10 tips for beginners.
Click below to see a list of 25 tips for how to best use Periscope!! 
One of the down sides to Periscope is that the broadcasts are only available to be viewed for 24 hours! Yes, you can save them to your camera roll . . . 
But when you save them this way, it only replays the video WITHOUT the comments, and I LOVE to be able to watch it back and see the comments so I see anything that I missed while I was broadcasting – it’s tricky to keep up with the comments sometimes!!  SO I’m here to show you a tutorial of how to save the broadcasts to your computer WITH the comments! 
After Quicktime Player is open, you want to open a New Movie Recording…
Once you open a “New Movie Recording”, it will recognize that your phone is plugged in and it will mirror it!! – You’ll see your phone screen on your computer screen IN THE QUICKTIME WINDOW!
**IF it does not mirror and recognize your phone at this point, simply click the down arrow next to the record button in the Quicktime window, and it will find your phone’s connection that way!!
Then – – – open the periscope app using your phone to get to the broadcast that you’re trying to save.
Hover over the quicktime movie recording window, and a red circle with a down arrow beside it will pop up.  CLICK the down arrow and make sure that you select (check) the camera AND the microphone for your phone! You can see that I selected both for “Ashley’s iPhone”

Then, HIT RECORD in quicktime so you can record the broadcast that you’re about to play!
Once it’s recording, hit PLAY on your phone in Periscope of the broadcast that you want to save!
It begins to play it back WITH THE COMMENTS and the fun hearts, too!!!

Then!! When your broadcast is finished playing and recording, go to File > SAVE! Save it to your computer, Dropbox, a jump drive, ANYWHERE! You can also export it to YouTube or Facebook, too!!
**PLEASE NOTE!! These broadcasts are only available on Periscope for 24 hours, so if you know that there’s one that you want to save with the comments, go back to replay and record it using Quicktime WITHIN 24 hours before it disappears!! 🙂
If you aren’t already – be sure to follow us on Periscope so we can bring new tips and tricks your way as soon as we learn them!!

    Wow, this worked perfectly! It didn't pick up my iPhone automatically, but if you click the little arrow next to the record button, you can select your iPone screen and the sound. Thanks for the tutorial!

    This is such a helpful post, Ashley! Thanks for sharing! Will you be uploading any of your past scopes on Youtube, by any chance? I've been on vacation this week and have missed quite a few of your broadcasts. 🙁

    Bummer! Even clicking the little arrow, it does't pick up my phone. It keeps wanting to use my camera on my macbook instead and my phone isn't listed as an option. 🙁
