This information will, first of all, be useful for beginners, so read to the end - it will be interesting ↓↓↓
How to find a live broadcast
In earlier versions of the application, user streams could be found in the recommendations tab. In later versions of Instagram, the function was removed and viewing the live broadcast is possible only after subscribing to a specific blogger.
After subscribing to the blogger you are interested in, go to your personal feed and pay attention to the special “live broadcast” icon. By clicking on it, you will be taken to the broadcast.
Instagram versions for PC. Errors when broadcasting online
It is worth noting that the full-fledged Instagram computer application is available only to those users who use Windows 10. Other users are forced to use special utilities designed to log into this social network.
This is the most common mistake users make: even those users who have “10” installed download additional software. Although it allows you to log into Instagram, a number of the messenger’s functions will be severely limited. The list of this software includes applications: Websta, Pixta, Instagrille.
Attention! “Why isn’t there a button to connect another user to share a live broadcast?” – This is the question asked by many users who have downloaded software to log into Instagram on a PC. The answer to this question is the fact that these programs are quite limited in functionality and do not allow adding new users for joint live broadcasting. Also, the reason for the lack of a button may be that one of the users is using an unupdated version of the Instagram client.
Other errors when broadcasting to Instagram from a personal computer include: silence on the live broadcast, as well as an incorrectly configured camera and microphone; the live broadcast does not work.
How to watch live
The developers did not allocate a special place for viewing the live broadcast and decided to place them in the story feed; the only difference is a small inscription: “Live broadcast” under the story.
Via phone
- To start viewing, you will need to click on such a publication.
- A window will open where the broadcast will begin playing.
- While watching, the user is allowed to: — get acquainted with the number of viewers; — read comments without opening an additional window; — comment and ask questions to the presenter; - send likes.
On the computer
The official website allows you to watch only stories and is not intended to interact with broadcasts. We provide several options to solve the problem:

Watching a broadcast on YouTube is easy and simple
Most streams are limited in time, so there is always a chance that you will not be able to watch an interesting broadcast.
→ However, recordings of Live events always remain on the channel, so you can watch the stream on YouTube at any time !!!
At first glance, there is nothing difficult to watch Live broadcasts on YouTube, but often viewers actually cannot start watching.
Can't watch stream: problem solution
Once again you went to the broadcast, but you can’t watch the streams on YouTube???
Let's look at the main causes of this problem and solutions.
→ So, often there is a message “Broadcast unavailable” or “The event will start in a few minutes,” but, as a rule, nothing happens.
In this case, you can use the following solution methods: ⇓
- check the functionality of the broadcast from another device (if there is no broadcast, then the reason is on the server);
- go to other broadcasts to make sure they work on your PC;
- reboot or reinstall it if necessary;
- clear cache;
- restart your PC.
Most often, these actions are enough to fix the problem, but if the problems persist only on all broadcasts and only on your PC, then there is software incompatibility (drivers, network access, etc.).
PS - wow, this is a joke right during the broadcast
