Instagram has added a new option to schedule upcoming IG Live broadcasts. The new feature will allow users to schedule live broadcasts in the app up to 90 days in advance, which can include a title description, as well as product tags. Users will also be able to register for reminders, which will be sent through to them the day before the broadcast, then 15 minutes before the stream begins. 

In addition to this, Instagram has also announced a new Live practice option, which enables users to check their lighting, get used to the camera, etc., without actually broadcasting. Broadcasters will also be able to connect with their guests ahead of time in practice mode, and test their connection - which, as anyone who's ever streamed before will know, is a key consideration in your process.

The new Live practice mode will be rolled out in the coming months.
