One thing I learned from watching the transit on a YouTube livestream of someone else&#x27;s telescope view (because New Zealand was in the no-see zone) is that YouTube livestreams have live commenting that works just as good or better than Periscope, and I was chatting with the owner of the telescope.<p>The only downside is the lack of easy discovery for current livestreams (if there&#x27;s no special event to search for that people would be livestreaming), which I guess is what YouTube Connect will be all about.
