Instagram Live Tips

Instagram Live is the most direct way to build a real-time, unfiltered connection with your followers. But an effective live stream takes a bit of planning.

Announce It in Advance

Posting a story announcement a few hours before going live noticeably increases your viewer count. Sudden, unannounced streams usually get low turnout.

Make the First Minutes Count

Followers who get notified join at different times, so don't hesitate to recap your topic repeatedly.

Encourage Engagement

Reading comments by name and answering questions live keeps viewers watching longer — which also helps Instagram recommend your stream to more people.
