Live Stories

Image sharing and social networking app Instagram has commenced a live streaming feature for the US and UK; and will launch it in other countries, including I ndia, soon. To go live on Instagram, users need to swipe right on their feed and choose Start Live Video. However, unlike on Facebook, the story will disappear from the app after the live streaming ends. Facebook archives the live streaming videos and users can watch them later. To watch someone else’s live stream, users need to go to Top Live option on Explore, and choose from the list. To use this feature, users have to upgrade their apps to Instagram version 10.0 and above.
