One of the hottest trends on social media these days is live streaming. There have been various sites and software that offer live streaming services before, but they only gained a lot more attention with the advent of mobile devices. Periscope leads the group of mobile apps that primarily offer live streaming services. It is considered a game changer in the field of social networking because unlike other social networking sites, Periscope gained a million users in just a short period of time. It is widely used, as evidenced by the bulk of streamed video viewed in a day, plus or minus 40 million minutes. But there are certain limitations to this app and that’s where Scope Freak comes in to help.

Scope Freak is a desktop software tool designed for Periscope broadcasts. This one-of-a-kind software tool was launched on December 28, 2015. Its goal is to help online marketers in their video advertising activities.
