Hi Cait,
We uploaded an .mp4 version of the Periscope video. So, yes, I'm afraid it does loose the hearts and comments. We'll be publishing a blog post soon on how we recorded the Periscope with live transcription soon.
You can also watch <a href="https://www.periscope.tv/w/1BRKjlaqqBVJw">the video on Periscope, with hearts and comments</a>.
Thank you.
Suhail.
