Twitter’s efforts to redesign its application and make it more user-friendly for information-sharing users have been fully effective since it became the social network of choice for messaging.
Although the social network is currently under the watchful eye of U.S. legislators because they are involved in Russia’s intervention in the 2016 elections, countermeasures to reverse this scandalous incident have been well handled by the company’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, who recently testified to Congress and promised to eliminate foreign interference in U.S. policy through this platform.

Last year, the company announced an agreement with 16 live video streaming partners, including NFL, WNBA, PGA Tour, and other sporting events. Although the agreement did not include 24/7 video streaming like other platforms, the truth is that morning news programs and other videos of social interest appeared with greater emphasis on Twitter.
In reality, the so-called programmes on Twitter are becoming more and more viral. Last week we reported on the new Twitter feature that allows users to stream live audio. Now the company has announced through its social network account that it will display live video streams at the top of user feeds for its Android and iOS applications.
So every time an account you follow runs a live stream and forwards it through a tweet, that video will be placed at the top of the timeline. However, as we have already said, the social network has already allowed this type of content, this is the first time that the accounts we are following will appear first in our feed when they share a live broadcast.
