Popular photo-sharing platform Instagram has announced the maximum length of its live streaming four hours. This extended time limit will be available to all Instagram users around the world.
Explaining the reason behind extending time limits on live streams, the company said that change is meant to help those who’ve had to pivot to virtual events, like fitness instructors, teachers, musicians, artists, activists and among others.
Instagram will also update the ‘Live Now’ section in IGTV and at the end of live streams to help direct users to more live content.
