The world’s most popular online photo and video sharing platform Instagram has launched a revolutionary new feature for users. This feature, called “Instagram Live Producer”, will now allow users to broadcast live on the desktop version. Thanks to this feature, Instagram rivaled platforms such as Twitch and YouTube where live broadcasts were made.
Instagram Live Producer is not just a feature that enables live broadcasting. With this feature, users will be able to use external cameras and microphones, and create start and end clips for their live broadcasts. Considering all this, we can say that Instagram Live Producer will serve as a comprehensive live broadcasting tool.
