Continuing its rapid growth and development, Instagram, the world’s most popular photo and video sharing platform, remains in the spotlight with its innovative features.
After integrating live streaming into the Stories feature, Instagram set itself apart from other platforms by meeting user demands. The platform is now testing a new feature called Multi-Person Live Streaming, promising an exciting new experience for its users.
This feature allows users to invite their friends to join their live streams, even if they are in different locations. Once a friend accepts the invitation, the live stream screen splits in two, enabling both users to appear side by side and continue streaming together.
How Multi-Person Live Streaming Works
- During a live stream, you can send an invitation to a friend to join.
- Once the invitation is accepted, the screen will split into two sections, showing both participants.
- You can remove your guest from the live stream at any time.
- Comments and likes from regular live streams will still be visible during multi-person live sessions.
This feature, which debuted on Facebook Live in May, is now being prepared for Instagram users. Although still in its testing phase, it has already generated buzz and anticipation among users.
Benefits and Use Cases
- You can share your Multi-Person Live Stream in your Stories, save it to your phone, or delete it after the broadcast.
- This new feature is expected to open up opportunities for news outlets, brands, influencers, and artists, offering a dynamic way to engage with audiences.
The official release date for Multi-Person Live Streaming has not yet been announced, but its potential to revolutionize live streaming on Instagram is already clear.
