With today’s announcement, you’ll soon have two more ways to share freely and at the moment.”
How to start Live Video: It’s easy to go live
- First of all, swipe right from the feed to open the camera.
- Tap on the ‘Start Live Video’ button, and you can start sharing for up to an hour.
- Your friends will get a notification when you go live.
- While you are live, you can ping a comment for everyone to see or can also turn off the comments.
When you are following someone, and they start a live story, you can see a ‘Live’ under their profile in the stories bar. One interesting thing is, during broadcast you can like and comment as much as you can. You can also check new live stories on Explore.

The user can edit the photos and videos of others by swiping right into the Stories camera. And next, you can tap on the arrow button to share this privately with your friends.
Users can also create a group with a just tap on the ‘New Group’ feature on the top right. Instagram also says, “Whether your account is set to public or private, you can only send disappearing photos and videos to people who follow you,” thus ensuring that not everyone ends up with these messages.
