Instagram Stories adds Live video replays, hits 250 million daily users

Instagram is adding another new feature to Stories. The Facebook owned photo and video sharing site will now let you share a replay of your live video to Instagram Stories.

When your broadcast has ended, you will be able to tap “Share” at the bottom of the screen to add your replay to Instagram Stories for 24 hours. You can also tap the toggle and choose “Discard,” and your live video will disappear from the app as usual. When someone you follow shares a replay, you will see a play button under their profile photo in the stories bar. You can tap it to watch the video and see comments and likes from the original broadcast. You can also tap the right or left side of the screen to go forward or back 15 seconds, or tap “Send Message” to reply.

If someone has shared multiple replays, you will see arrows at the top so you can easily jump between videos. You will also see the number of viewers who saw it live and in stories.These updates are available as part of Instagram version 10.26 available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.
