Here's How to Broadcast Live Video on Instagram

Follow this guide to livestream in the Instagram app

Instagram launched live videostreaming for all users in January through Instagram Stories. This feature allows users to broadcast live videos, which disappear from the application after they end. If you’ve yet to try this feature yourself, our guide will help you get started. Note: These screenshots were captured in the Instagram app on iOS.

Step 1: Tap the Camera icon in the top-left corner of the screen.

Step 2: Swipe from left to right at the bottom of the screen to switch from “Normal” to “Live.”
