About Instagram's Live Video Feature
Last August 2016, Instagram officially launched its 'Stories' feature which allows users to create a single video composed of multiple images and small video clips, which can be shared with friends later on. But unfortunately, after a period of 24 hours, this video will disappear. When this feature was launched, it was immediately compared to Snapchat's Story feature. To upload a story on Instagram, a user can do this by simply tapping on the plus icon on the top left corner of the screen. After taking or selecting a picture, or recording a video, the application will pop in and offer editing tools that would allow you to edit the video the way you want. It features tools that would let you doodle on the image or the video.
What would be next?
The new live video feature would truly be yet another innovative move that would bring more popularity to the already famous Instagram. With features like this, it makes people wonder what Facebook and all other social media companies would bring next that would be the next trend. Definitely a great feature for the photo and video sharing platform.
