\n<\/p>\n

Instagram announced its Live video broadcasting features in November<\/a>, which allow users to show your followers what you\u2019re up to in real-time, and also let users browse for Live videos happening at this very moment as selected by Instagram algorithmically. Now, it\u2019s making these features available to all users in the U.S. over the course of the next few days.<\/p>\n

The Live features live in Instagram Stories, and you can get to them by swiping into the Stories camera area and then tapping the toggle to enter \u201cLive\u201d mode. Live videos aren\u2019t stored on your Instagram, in Stories or otherwise, meaning your followers can only see them while you\u2019re actually broadcasting.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the key difference between Instagram\u2019s live video and that offered by other including parent company Facebook. It\u2019s a substantial\u00a0one, too; users are going to treat truly ephemeral video a lot differently from something that\u2019s taking place in the moment but that\u2019s also designed to be made available for rewatching later on.<\/p>\n

Since they\u2019re so easy to miss, Instagram also has a new way to find live streams to watch \u2013 under the Explore tab there\u2019s a new \u201cTop Live\u201d section for U.S. users which will show a selection of the best content currently on offer as adjudged by the company\u2019s algorithm. That\u2019s actually easier discovery than you\u2019ll find on most competing live video platforms, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, this will be rolling out over the next few days, so check your Instagram app for updates if you\u2019re eager to go live or catch some broadcasts.<\/p>\n
