Previously, IG users were able to go live with just one other person. Now, Instagram, Instagram wants to give creators even more ways to build a business and earn money. The new feature will not only allow users to buy badges for the hosts but also use other interactive features like Shopping and Live Fundraisers.
“We hope that doubling up on Live will open up more creative opportunities — start a talk show, host a jam session or co-create with other artists, host more engaging Q&As or tutorials with your following, or just hang out with more of your friends. We can’t wait to see what more creativity comes from this highly-requested update.”
Here are the steps:
“Swipe left and pick the Live camera option. Then, add a title and tap the Rooms icon to add your guests. You’ll see people who have requested to go live with you, and you can also search for a guest to add. When you start a Live Room, you’ll remain at the top of the screen when you add guests. As a broadcaster, you can add up to three guests at once or one by one (for example, you could start with two guests, and add a surprise guest as the third participant later! 🥳) Going live with multiple guests is a great way to increase your reach, as guests’ followers can also be notified.”
In addition to this, Instagram also announced that it is exploring more interactive tools, like moderator controls and new audio features that will be available in the coming months, similar to the new popular app Clubhouse.
