Periscope introduces closed groups and adds support for external video production tools.

Twitter-owned Periscope, the live video streaming app for Android, will now let users create closed groups and only the group creator will be able to add or remove members as well as change the group's title. The group creator basically becomes the group administrator and is the only user with the power to manage the group.

Periscope has also added a new toggle in the settings of the app for users to stop themselves from being added automatically to groups. On turning off the "Auto-accept Group Invites", users will receive an invitation which they can accept or reject. 

This update also introduces Periscope Producer. This new feature is available to anyone who wants to use external video production tools. More information about Periscope Producer can be found in the Settings of the Periscope app.

The update is already available for download in Google Play Store.
