How To Find Instagram Live Videos?
If you’re new to Instagram or haven’t used the live feature much, here’s how you can join the action:
#1 Check the Stories Section at the Top of Your Feed
When someone you follow goes live, their profile picture will appear at the top of your Instagram feed. It will have a colorful ring and the word “Live.””
Simply tap on their profile picture to watch the live video. It’s that easy!
#2 Explore the ‘Live’ Tab in IGTV
Instagram has a dedicated space for live videos in IGTV. Open your Instagram app and navigate to IGTV by tapping on the TV icon.
Once there, switch to the ‘Live’ tab to see all the ongoing live videos. This tab shows many live videos from across Instagram. It’s not just from people you follow.
#3 Use the Explore Page
The Explore page often shows live videos. They are based on your interests and past interactions. Tap on the magnifying glass icon to open the Explore page.
Look for live videos featured amongst the suggested posts. They’ll have the “Live” badge on them, making them easy to spot.
#4 Turn on Notifications for When Someone Goes Live
If you have favorite accounts, you can turn on notifications for their live shows. This way, you won’t miss their live sessions.
Go to the profile of the person you want to get live notifications for. Tap on ‘Following,’ then ‘Notifications.’ Finally, enable notifications for ‘Live Videos.”
#5 Ask Friends or Follow Hashtags
Sometimes, the best way to find interesting live videos is through friends’ recommendations. You can also find them by following relevant hashtags.
If a friend watches or shares a live video, it might show up in your feed. Also, following hashtags related to your interests can help you find live videos. They are tagged with those hashtags.
