Instagram has launched a new “Live Room” feature that allows up to four people to go live simultaneously.
Instagram’s new feature rivals apps like the invite-only app Clubhouse.
The concept has been so well received that even Twitter is testing a live room feature called Spaces, that allows multiple participants can go live with only audio.
The new feature is expected to help brands create better content and collaborations. Instagram says the new “Live Room” feature will open up new revenue streams for businesses and individual users. For instance, one could host a fundraiser or a live shopping event on Instagram. Furthermore, the feature seems to make a lot of sense during the pandemic.
Live Rooms also gives creators even more ways to build a business and earn money.
