Instagram said the live video feature it announced in November should begin reaching users in the U.S. today.
Live video lets users broadcast live video to their followers through the Stories section of the app. Followers may opt to receive notifications when people share live video, and live video is visibly earmarked as such. People may leave comments throughout the video’s duration, but live video is not stored or saved in users’ feeds.
Live video was added to the Explore tab, too, allowing people to browse through live video that’s being shared from around the world.
Instagram is free to download from the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store.
