Before moving on to how does Instagram Live work, I want to give you some tips in order not to lose your friends’ directs, but also your favourite celebrities’ Live videos. Then, we are going to move on to how does Instagram Live work in the next paragraphs. You might remember that before I said that Instagram Live videos get deleted just as direct video finishes, so this is valid for your friends’ direct videos too. In order not to lose them, you have to know the strategy very well. First of all, as soon as someone you follow is Live, Instagram is going to send you a notification. This notification says something like “the specific person that you follow is live now”: thanks to this, you should not lose their Live video. In addition, if someone goes Live while you already are on the Instagram app, you will see under their icon “Live”, meaning that they are broadcasting in that exact moment. So, the good old Instagram gives you a second way to discover who is broadcasting while you are online. The third way you can discover who is broadcasting at the moment is the following: Instagram’s Explore tab also features Live stories and you can tap on “Top Live” to access to the most followed live in that moment. In fact, you will be shown the videos that are trending based on viewers, engagement and location. You can skip between these Live videos just by swiping right! Now that you know how to find out if someone is live, let’s move on to how does Instagram Live works.
