What Instagram Live With Friends Looks Like

Not every business gets the chance to include interviews with mainstream actors and musicians as part of their content strategy, like Gucci. But if you could, it would start with a promotion of your live broadcast with a guest.

Instagram Live Broadcast Promotional Post

Your followers are alerted to your live broadcast at the top of their Instagram news feed. When you use Instagram Live with a guest, your followers see two circles representing your Instagram account and your guest’s.

Instagram Live Broadcast Indicator Top Of Screen

Both your profile and your guest’s profile show two circles, as well as the Instagram Live indicator.

Your broadcast will look like this.

Instagram Live With Friends Split Screen

When viewers click the profile links at the top left, they get the option to view your profile or your guest’s profile.

Depending on the popularity of your Instagram Live broadcast, it may show up in the top Instagram Live stories on the Search and Explore tab.

Verified Instagram accounts and the Instagram Live broadcasts with the most viewers that best relate to your interests (based on Instagram usage habits) are listed first. The more live viewers you and your guest can attract, the higher you can move on the Top Live Instagram Stories screen and the more likely you are to attract new audiences on the Search and Explore tab.

Now that you know what Instagram Live With Friends looks like to your followers and other Instagram users, let’s look at how to set up an Instagram Live With Friends broadcast for your business.

#1: Plan and Promote Your Instagram Live in Advance

To get the best visibility possible, plan and promote your Instagram Live With Friends broadcast. If you have an Instagram business account, you can use your Followers Insights to determine when your followers are online. Your guest can do the same if they also have a business account.

Instagram Live Followers Insights

Once you determine the best time to reach the majority of your followers and your guest’s, promote the live broadcast using a standard image or video post to your Instagram profile. Use this post to let your followers know when the live broadcast will happen, whom you intend to invite as your guest(s), and what viewers can expect.

Add hashtags to the post to help it reach more people who may be interested in following your Instagram account and viewing your live broadcast.

Instagram Live With Friends Add Guest

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a notification that the guest is waiting to accept your invitation to go live.

#4: Remove a Guest and Add Another Guest

After your guest joins the broadcast, you’ll see your live video and theirs. You’ll also see the option to end the broadcast at the top right of your live video.

If you want to remove the guest from the broadcast, tap the X at the top right of your guest’s live video.

Instagram Live With Friends Remove Guest

Then confirm that you want to remove the guest from your live broadcast.

Instagram Live With Friends Remove Guest

Now you can add and broadcast live with another guest.

When you tap End to end your live video, you have the option to share it in Instagram Stories for the next 24 hours.

If you don’t want to share your video after the original broadcast has ended, tap the slider and confirm you want to discard the video.

#5: Promote the Live Replay on Instagram Stories

If you choose to save your video to your Instagram stories, you can archive your original promotion of the broadcast and post a new update to let followers know they can catch your live video for the next 24 hours. After the 24-hour period is up, you can archive that post if you want.

Instagram Live Promote Replay

#6: Review Your Instagram Stories Analytics

If you share your Instagram Live broadcast to Instagram Stories, you can view Stories Insights in your Instagram business account analytics.

Instagram Stories Analytics

If you don’t see your story preview, tap on the See Older link to find it.

Instagram Stories Analytics

You’ll find the best analytics during the 24-hour period that the Instagram story is displayed. These insights show the people who are viewing your Instagram story (everyone), as well as the impressions, reach, and other engagement metrics (Instagram business account holders only).

To access this data, tap on the number of viewers for your Instagram story during the 24 hours it’s available, shown at the bottom left of your story. Everyone will see the number of viewers and a list of those viewers. Business account users can tap the Insights tab to get impressions, viewers, replies, and swipe-aways, as applicable.

YouTube includes NFTs and Web3 in new creator tools – Metaverse

Brands . Metaverse . social media

Google LLC-owned video-sharing giant YouTube said Thursday it's considering web3 technologies such as nonfungible tokens and blockchain to help enhance the relationships between creators and their fans and develop new experiences. "Web3 opens up new opportunities for creators," Neal Mohan, chief product officer at YouTube, said in a blog post. "We believe new technologies like blockchain and NFTs can allow creators to build deeper relationships with their fans. Together, they'll be able to collaborate on new projects and make money in ways not previously possible." An NFT is a type of blockchain asset that can represent a virtual item such as artwork, music, video, or even a ticket. What makes NFTs worthwhile is that they are unique and can be bought, sold, and traded. As a result, YouTube creators could use them to produce additional revenue streams related to their YouTube videos, turn their videos themselves into NFTs, and sell them to their fans to create deeper relationships. The company didn't clarify whether NFT ownership would conflict with copyright law. Buying an NFT establishes ownership of a specific digital asset and provides a public record of each transaction involving the asset. It doesn't transfer copyright from the original owner to the buyer. What can one expect? YouTube will be adding features that mirror competing platforms. It will monetize Shorts, the short-form video platform similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels. For example, creators will reply to comments with short videos, a feature widely used on TikTok to engage with viewers directly. In addition, YouTube is adding live streaming features, further competing with Twitch. The company will launch collaborative live streaming so creators can go live together. The platform is also testing giving paid memberships as gifts. Let the Metaverse wars continue....

Frozen Theatre Chicago Review

Chicago . Theatre . Travel

Frozen Theatre Review: The glitz, the glamor, and the icicles are back! Disney’s “Frozen,” the Broadway hit musical, has returned to the Cadillac Palace Theatre for a limited ten-week engagement. Highly Recommend as we follow the lives of Elsa and Anna, who are heirs to the throne, with Elsa having a peculiar gift: the ability to create a frozen world of sparkling crystal. Many know how Disney’s Frozen took the box office by storm, and it’s clear sitting in the theater that audience members of all ages are excited to see the piece come to life. From kids, all dressed up and parents singing along. If you are a Disney fan, this musical was made for you. The Tony-nominated musical adaptation of the hit movie follows Elsa (Caroline Bowman) as she navigates, hiding her magical ice powers amid her coronation. When things go astray and her mystical magic is revealed, she runs off into the mountains to keep everyone safe – or so she thinks. With Arendelle suddenly under snow and the threat of permanent winter, her younger sister Anna (Marina Konodo) sets out to find Elsa to save their kingdom. This is where the story unfolds. Also in this musical are other favorite characters from the film: Kristoff (Mason Reeves), Olaf (F. Michael Haynie), Hans (Austin Colby), and of course, Sven (a combination of puppetry and acrobatic talents portrayed by Evan Strand and Colin Baja). This alone makes the magical experience full circle. Frozen is full of joy, and the eye-popping scenic design touches elicit uproars of laughter and applause. Standout performances and jaw-dropping special effects full of magic and flare make Disney’s Frozen a night to remember. Now, For the critical part, some songs needed a bit more clarity from the characters as a few of their pitches were off, but this is what makes live theatre awesome. Secondly, for all its glitz and girl power, l thought this magical show lacked some of the (human connect) warm connection found between Actors in other Disney musicals for the stage production. Overall, This is especially a top pick for those who first experienced this story as the original Disney film. Rating: 3.5 out of 4 Runtime: 2 hours and 15 minutes, with one intermission. Tickets range from $33 – $179, plus a select number of premium tickets are available. Buy Tickets: https://www.broadwayinchicago.com/show/disneys-frozen/ Tridence Supports the Arts....
