*HOW TO LINK ‘OBS’ WITH ‘INSTAGRAM LIVE’*
.
As people are increasingly isolated during the COVID-19 situation, we know it may be tough to stay engaged with your audience
Instagram Live allows you to maintain this direct line, and easily connect with your community in an authentic way.
More importantly, you get to receive comments and questions from your audience in real-time.
This is a very meaningful tool for building a strong connection between your brand and customers.
To help you get started, we are covering how to launch your first Instagram Live and our top tips to drive meaningful connections with your customers.
Getting Started
Make sure you have a strong internet connection to keep the stream as high quality as possible.
Swipe right from feed to open the Stories Camera
then tap ‘Live’ then ‘Start Live Video’.
You can go live for up to an hour, and you’ll see when new people join.
The longer you stay live, the more time your fans have to join.
Your most engaged followers may receive a notification that you’re live and your story will move to the front of their stories bar at the top of the feed
.
Tips for Businesses
Before you go Live:
Test Instagram Live on a test account to make sure you’re familiar with the functionality and set-up.
Give followers advanced notice (try using the countdown sticker in Stories or posting on your Instagram Feed).
After your first live stream, try going Live at certain times during the day/week so your audience knows when to look forward to tuning in
.
While you are on Live:
Go Live with a business partner, creator or fan.
Using Live With prompts a notification to your collaborator’s followers so it’s a great way to reach new audiences as well.
Try a Live Q&A.
Either ask for questions during the stream or use the Questions sticker in Stories to source questions beforehand.
Turn on comment moderation to facilitate a positive community experience.
If on iOS, try the Media sharing button (to the bottom right of your Live recording screen), which allows you to share any video or image on screen
.
After you end Live:
Share your Live to IGTV.
Make sure Post a Preview is on so that a preview of your video will be shared to your feed and profile.
You can also download the video to your device.
