The arrival of Clubhouse is making the machinery of large social networks accelerate their modernization plans and new tools. This is the case of Twitter with Spaces, a way to launch live audio chats in the purest Clubhouse style. Except for one aspect: the billions of users and the large user infrastructure that Twitter already has. The next to join the trend of live venues is Instagram with the launch of its 'Live Rooms', a variant of their Directs. It is actually a variation because up to 3 guests are allowed in the live so that up to 4 people (including the creator) can be made live.
Live up to 4 people with Instagram 'Live Rooms'
Today we present the live rooms, a function with which you can broadcast live on Instagram with up to three people. Previously, you could only broadcast live together with one person, but now we will allow you to "double the bet" on your live broadcasts.
The movements that the large social networks are having in recent weeks is none other than a defense against the growing and popular demand for audio applications such as Clubhouse or Stereo. Nevertheless, Facebook and Instagram have never been nice to launch tools without seeing behind the intentions of their new functions.
A few hours ago Instagram launched the 'Live Rooms' in the Direct. With this new feature the users who may be broadcasting on the same screen are thus duplicated. Until now, only two users could and, with the launch of 'Live rooms', there are four the maximum number of users presenting. It has also been promised that new functions of moderation, interaction with the spectators and other audio functions will be incorporated, a clear example of trying to prevent the success of audio chats from consolidating.
The operation of this function does not differ from the usual mechanism in Instagram Direct. He slides into the camera and starts a live by adding up to 3 users as presenters. They can be added at the same time, or one at a time once the transmission has started. In addition, it is a good way to expand the audience since all the followers of the presenters will be notified of the transmission, regardless of whether or not they are the ones who started it.
