Instagram is one of the most exciting and popular social media site and it is going to introduce the live video streaming, which is part of the instagram stories. The photos and videos on instagram will be disappeared from its stories after 24 hours and similarly the live videos will also be short lived.

Kevin Systrom is the CEO of Instagram and he said that there is nothing disturbing while calling the photo sharing app as there is much, which is going on videos these days.

How It Works

When you start your live stream, you need to swipe it right from the instagram feed in order to open the camera and start the live video after tapping it. They need to know that the sharing limit is only one hour.

When you start the streaming of the video, your friends will get a notification and they can turn right into stream. You can pin the comment after coming live so that everyone can see or they turn off the comments. If you follow someone to start the live streaming then you will find ‘Live’ under their profile photo on the Stories Bar.

Instagram Direct

Instagram Direct is also upgraded along with Instagram stories. The users can send the photos and videos directly to the individual and group friends and you can share your own and others stories. With the introduction of improvements to the Instagram Direct, the number of monthly users was reached over 300 million.
