In the middle of the month, rumors about the activation of live broadcasts by Instagram were launched on the network and now we have this service available on the social network. Record at any time and in any situation is possible thanks to this new function which it hopes to directly rival Periscope or Snapchat when it comes to live streaming.
The arrival of this service is integrated as an option within the application itself in record live on Instagram Stories, so to use it is very simple. What we have to bear in mind is that in this case the live videos are not recorded, they are deleted once the live is finished.
This is good in case we have a problem or an unforeseen event arises in the live that we do not want to be recorded, but it is not good to keep a video history even though this is not the purpose of the application. So it's nice to know that the videos on Instagram Stories disappear once we finish the live broadcast.
To follow the live broadcasts of the people we follow it is as simple as seeing the icons in the Stories bar at the top or when we click on the magnifying glass to search for someone. The live label appears on these icons to announce that they are currently broadcasting live and we can add comments or give our like without problem. The service that seemed to have to arrive in a few months has been launched this month.
Enjoy the live!
