How do I go live on Instagram?

Going live on Instagram is very simple. Pull out your phone, open Instagram, go to your stories, and click ‘Add To Your Story’ at the bottom of the phone. Scroll all the way to the left and there will be a live selection. Hit that big round button in the middle and you’re live. You don’t need a computer, fancy streaming equipment, lights, or even earbuds—just your phone. Once you start, your followers who are currently active on Instagram will get a notification. Before you go live, Instagram even shows you how many of your followers are in the app at that moment.
