Instagram Live is launching a new feature that’s simple in nature—but the implications create a smoother experience for users. Live videos typically only live on Instagram for 24 hours, but Instagram has been beta testing this new feature AND it should be completely rolled out by May 14th. What is it? Listen to this Monday Marketing Minisode to find out!
What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut SocialDrumroll: You can now share Instagram Live videos directly to your IGTV with the press of a button! Darla points out that previously you had to download a live video, then re-upload it to IGTV. It can be a painstakingly time-consuming process that deters you from doing it in the first place. Now the process is streamlined and user friendly.
Even better—Instagram Live usage is up 70% right now. Take advantage of that extra traffic—especially because the app sends out notifications to your friends to let them know you’re going live. Jump on the video bandwagon and create content for your IGTV library. If you’re like Darla and are better doing off-the-cuff live videos, this is the game-changer and time-saver you’ve been waiting for.
How to make Instagram Live work for your Design BizIt’s time to take advantage of being able to produce content on-the-spot. Are you doing a virtual walk-through of a space that you want to save to IGTV? What about a check-in at a workshop? Share some textiles and fabrics with your viewers? You can take all of this content and have it live on IGTV.
Even better—especially with Facebook already on board—Instagram is beta-testing monetizing your IGTV. Instagram’s biggest competitor is YouTube, and the changes they’re making might start leveling the playing field. Only time will tell. But video is THE new trend that will continue. Don’t miss out!
