Instagram To Let Users Livestream Up To 4 Hours; New Archive Option For Live Videos
Instagram has now extended its Live video time up to four hours. Previously, the time limit was one hour for the live stream and the social media platform has also introduced two other features. Users can now keep all their live videos saved for up to 30 days. Besides, you will get now a separate “Live Now” section within the IGTV which helps you to discover more live streaming content.
-) The first change is regarding the duration of Instagram Live sessions. While Instagram offered a maximum limit of 1 hour until now, the Facebook-owned company has increased the duration to up to 4 hours
-) With the increased duration, creators are likely to use the feature more often, which is exactly why Instagram is improving the discoverability of live sessions. You will see a ‘Live Now’ section in the IGTV app and on the Explore tab to tune into live streams that you might otherwise be missing out on.
-) The third new change is the ability to archive live streams for up to 30 days. Unlike archived posts and stories, the archived live videos will get automatically deleted after 30 days.
