Instagram added an option Thursday for users to mute the audio or turn off the video in Instagram Live videos.

The goal is to give hosts of Instagram Live sessions added flexibility and remove the pressure for hosts or participants to look or sound a certain way while broadcasting live.

Instagram said the new option is rolling out globally starting Thursday (April 29).
