How do I schedule an Instagram Live broadcast in advance?

You can schedule Instagram Live broadcasts up to 90 days in advance, and your followers will get a reminder when you schedule it. This allows you to be much more intentional about your live sessions rather than just going live spontaneously. Note that to access live broadcasting features, you need to have at least 1,000 followers—this requirement was added in August 2025.
