Instagram has just rolled out a feature where you can now share a replay of your Live Video to Instagram Stories. This means people who missed your live video will have the opportunity of watching it when you share it on your Instagram story.
According to Instagram in a blog post, “When your broadcast has ended, you’ll be able to tap “Share” at the bottom of the screen to add your replay to Instagram Stories for 24 hours. You can also tap the toggle and choose “Discard,” and your live video will disappear from the app as usual.”
“When someone you follow shares a replay, you’ll see a play button under their profile photo in the stories bar. Tap it to watch the video and see comments and likes from the original broadcast. You can also tap the right or left side of the screen to go forward or back 15 seconds, or tap “Send Message” to reply.”
“If someone has shared multiple replays, you’ll see arrows at the top so you can easily jump between videos. And when watching your own replay, the number of viewers will include everyone who saw it live and in stories.”
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, used this opportunity to share that the Instagram community just passed 250 million people using Instagram Stories everyday. Awesome. Live video on Instagram was launched in November 2016.
To start using this feature, this update is available as part of Instagram version 10.26 available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.
