How do I reshare an Instagram live video that didn't get many viewers?

After your live ends, look for options like ‘share,’ ‘download,’ and ‘delete’ on the saved live video. If you see a ‘share’ option that says ‘new reel,’ use that—it will post as a reel directly. In the caption, explain that this was a live session from a specific date that you wanted to reshare. If that option isn’t available due to Instagram glitches (which happen constantly), download the video to your phone and then upload it as a new reel. If Instagram glitches persist, delete the app and reinstall it to fix the issue.
