The free app highlights all the live streaming video available on Twitter, which includes live streams of 10 NFL Thursday Night Football games. Other than that it will also show contents from MLB Advanced Media, NBA, Campus Insiders, Pac 12 Networks, Cheddar and Bloomberg News.

This new app launched by Twitter will also help you to watch more traditional Twitter content – such as top global Vines and Periscopes and Top Tweets. It will also show abuse from random Tweeters along with the show that you’re watching.The Main motive behind this is to engage people on Twitter even while they are watching the TV.
