With video calls becoming a norm in 2020, Instagram took the video call game a step further. The social media platform now lets users create live rooms. Let’s check how to create and how to use Instagram Live Rooms.
What are Live Rooms?
Instagram’s Live Rooms are nothing but an extended version of Instagram’s own One to One video call. Previously you and another person would be able to make a video call or go live. In short, it’s a direct call to what Clubhouse has to offer, just that Instagram has it limited to about 4 members (including the host). It is more like Zoom or any other Video Calling app but limited to four members. This feature can be helpful for colleagues if they want to have some fun time while working from home. It’s easy as most users are on Instagram and all you need is its app. So now let’s see how to use Instagram Live Rooms.
