Instagram has launched two new functions in its application, letting users take a breather right in the middle of a Live broadcast. Whether muting the audio or the video, users can now cut the mic or the camera during a livestream, functions that echo the options in Clubhouse.
Could audio-only livestreams be the next big thing for Instagram influencers? Instagram unveiled two new user functions, April 29. Via channels including its official Twitter account, the Facebook-owned social network said it hoped to “normalize not always being ‘on’” by allowing users to mute their mic or camera during live broadcasts.
These new functions will give users the option of switching off their mic or camera, even if they’re already streaming live on the platform. If a user no longer wants to share their image with followers, then their profile photo is displayed instead, a handy function for dealing with the unexpected while broadcasting live.
