How to Go Live on Instagram

You can go live on Instagram from the post menu. Some Instagram accounts will not have Instagram live as an option.

You will have to turn your account into a creator account or business account if you don't have the live option.

Once you click live, you can change some settings before actually being live.
You can give your live video a title, schedule it for a later time, or even set up practice mode if you are not ready to go live in front of your followers.

Inside of Instagram live, you can chat, mute yourself, turn off your video, flip the camera, and a lot more.

Once you are done, you can end the live and see your insights and delete or archive your live video.

I try going live on Instagram and for some reason my one friend that joined says they can’t hear me and my mic isn’t muted I just wanted to make sure I did something wrong

Well, I've looked at about a dozen of these...none of the screens look like mine. I have an iPhone 11, so no Practice mode.
I'm thinkin that if I schedule a start time for a couple of hours from now, I can "go live" as a practice and and probably cancel the schedule???

Is it possible to auto-caption an Insta LIVE without having to download, transcribe, then upload? I know you can with 15 second long stories. I need the feature for Lives. Thanks....I am using Android system.
