One of the most widely used social media platforms across the world is Instagram. With the coronavirus pandemic having many sitting in their houses, the app has provided a means of escape for many seeking engagements.
With over one billion active users, the app has been a convergence of creators, entrepreneurs, and photographers. They share ideas, contents, and even host parties and interviews. This creative measure of having a new norm is made possible through the app’s special feature; Instagram Live.
Instagram Live affords creators and hosts the opportunity to reach their large audience and followers. This is possible via live engagements in real-time through their Instagram accounts.
However, Instagram Live is slightly different from Facebook and YouTube Live. This is because live videos broadcasted on Instagram disappear as soon as you end the broadcast. While those on YouTube and Facebook Live keep showing up on timelines.
Yes, you can share the live-streamed video on your Instagram stories after it’s finished; but it only stays there for 24 hours just like regular Instagram stories.
