You can invite up to three guests to join your live room or you can ask to join someone else’s live room. There are two ways you can start a live broadcast and invite guests on Instagram.
To go live and then invite a guest to join your broadcast from the Instagram app:
- Tap
at the top or swipe right anywhere in Feed, then scroll to Live at the bottom. - Tap
at the bottom, then tap
at the bottom. - Tap
next to the username of the person you want to invite or search for their username at the top, then tap Send Request.
If a guest accepts the invitation to join, they’ll appear in your live room. You'll also see if they've chosen to decline.
To remove someone who joined your live room, tap x in the top right of their video frame.
To ask to join someone’s live broadcast that you're viewing:
- Tap
next to the username at the top. - Tap Request to join, then tap Send Request.
- If your request is accepted, you'll receive a notice that you're about to join the live room.
Note that you may automatically be asked if you want to request to join the live room in the comments section.
