Why Instagram Live?

Instagram Stories allows you to create media that appears at the top of your followers news feeds for 24 hours.

Because the Instagram news feed is now controlled by an algorithm similar to the one that controls the Facebook news feed, keeping your Instagram story fresh can help you stay at the top of your audience’s Instagram app.'
