Katch for Periscope & Meerkat Video Archive Cloud Service
Klyde is such a good dog! He can “katch” your public Periscope and Meerkat videos and archive them in the cloud for you!
Katch is a cloud-based service that allows you to archive your Live Video Feeds from Periscope and Meerkat by collecting them in one place. They started out with Meerkat, and quickly move to include Periscope into the fold. You can check out the website at Katch.me.
NOTICE: As of May 4, 2016, Katch.me will be CLOSING and will no longer “katch” videos from Periscope and Meerkat. Be sure to download any of your videos from Katch.me before the final deadline of May 2, 2016.
To get a complete walk-through of the website and description of the service, please watch the video.

TIP: If you have your Katch account set to auto record, DO NOT forget to either:

click on the bird in Periscope before starting your scope (to send out the auto tweet “LIVE ON #Persicope”)
-
OR use #Katch in your title.
Otherwise, Katch will not record your video.
