New Instagram updates have some new features such as you can promote scheduled live streams and remixes and you can even share the video on the platform.
Mosseri initially showed the new direction in which Instagram went when he proclaimed last summer: “We’re not just a typical photo-sharing app.” Instagram is extending its updates that are going to provide the users an amazing path to promote their live videos, and you can even make remix videos.
Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, has made an announcement of these updates while reiterating the company’s focus, this year company’s focus is on creating many updates on video and messaging. Instagram is trying to bring a smart vision to life this year by bringing in two new updates that are focused on video — both are focused on live video and recorded video.
The updates also include:
You will be able to promote scheduled lives streams with a new banner
The ability to remix any video
Let’s explore much about these enhancements and what you can do with these enhancements as a creator.
Highlight scheduled live videos on your profile
When you are scheduling the live video on Instagram, you will be able to highlight the video on your main profile page with a new banner.
You can make numerous scheduled live videos if you want. This will also provide you with the option to promote a Livestream that will run at the same time every day, for example.
You can remix of any video on Instagram
Users would be able to remix any video on Instagram.
A “remix” on Instagram is the feature for videos published by others and responding to or reinventing them with your video. It’s almost like TikTok’s video reactions.
So, when Instagram initially brought its remix feature, it was a kind of copycat reaction video made popular on TikTok.
Previously, users were only able to remix TikTok-inspired Instagram Reels.
Now, users would be able to remix any public video on Instagram whether it is about the Reel or a feed post. Remixing is a kind of options feature, so users would be able to pick and select any videos they would like to allow others to remix.
Just click on the three-dot icon that you can see in the top right corner and you can select “Remix this video.”
