Instagram is aware of the importance of its Live profiles for many profiles, so the company has decided to improve them with something that some were already asking for: allowing the participation of a greater number of users. Thus, with a trial period that starts in India, Instagram directives can now be up to four people.
Intagram lives with up to three guests
During the first months of the pandemic, we all saw the use of Instagram Live soar . Well, from Instagram and from practically any platform that allows this type of live events. And it is not only due to the greater time available to many users, it is also that they turned out to be a great way to maintain contact with followers.
For all this, the platform has decided to take a step forward and introduce an improvement that in a way many users were already asking for: allowing the participation of more people during a live show . This is how it will go from being able to do an Instagram Live with a single guest to forming a room with up to four participants. Hence, the company also decides to rename them Live Rooms , although in essence they will continue to be the same live shows as ever.
From now on, up to three guests will be able to join the live that any user starts. And all this with the same ease as before, but with the possibility of being able to broadcast much richer content thanks to this multiple participation.
How to direct four people on Instagram
To make an Instagram live with up to three guests, the process is still as simple as before. The steps you have to follow are the following:
- Tap on the Instagram + icon that gives access to a new post, story or reel
- Select History and then the Live option
- If you want you can enter a title for the Live Room, although it is not mandatory
- To add guests you just have to touch the camera icon that you will see
- Then accept requests from those who have asked or find who you want to invite to join
Ready, that’s how easy it is to create a new Instagram live with three people instead of one as usual.
Who can use the direct of four people on Instagram
This new option that allows live events within Instagram with up to three more guests is currently only available in India . As has happened on many other occasions, they choose that market for certain reasons in order to carry out the final tests that allow them to fine-tune the service to the maximum.
Therefore, although for now it is not at a global level, it is expected and assumed that it will not take long to be officially launched for everyone. So it is only a matter of time to enjoy this new feature that will undoubtedly enhance the use of Instagram Live much more. Although many of us will continue to think that the ideal would be for them to launch an API or option that allows broadcasting from OBS-type applications on Instagram in an official way and without requiring the use of third-party services.
