Instagram has become the latest social media company to embrace live video broadcasts.<\/p>\n

Following in the footsteps of Facebook, which owns Instagram, YouTube and Twitter’s live-streaming app Periscope, Instagram has released a new feature that allows its users to broadcast live at any time.<\/p>\n

Anyone watching can comment and react by posting emoji that pop up on the live video screen.<\/p>\n

If it sounds familiar, it is.<\/p>\n

\"Instagram's<\/p>\n

As soon as you finish your broadcast, it will disappear forever.<\/p>\n

That means you won’t be able to share a link to your broadcast and viewers won’t be able to watch it after it’s happened.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/div>\n

In a statement, an Instagram spokesperson said that was “so you can feel comfortable sharing what you want, anytime”.<\/p>\n

To begin with, the feature will be rolled out to a select group of users before being available to everyone in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, Instagram launched Stories which allows users to post a series of video and photo snapshots and annotate them with words and emoji – Snapchat style.<\/p>\n

Those stories last for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The second major feature to be released by Instagram is a change to direct messages, both one-on-one and to groups.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/div>\n

Users will now be able to send disappearing photos and videos privately among friends, as opposed to just text.<\/p>\n
