Instagram Stories Get 24 Hour Video Replays

If you tend to post a lot of videos on Instagram, chances are some of your followers are not able to catch up with your posts. Instagram is now enabling you to give your followers another chance to check out the live video that you shared on the social network. The Facebook-owned company today announced that it has added the option to share a reply of your live video to Instagram Stories.

When you’ve completed your live video broadcast on Instagram, you can now tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen to add a replay of the entire broadcast to Instagram Stories. All video replays will be live for 24 hours after which they will disappear for good.

You can also choose to Discard the video from the toggle so that it disappears as it would have done. If you follow someone who had shared a replay, you will see a play button under their profile photo in the stories bar.

The video can then be viewed by tapping on it. All comments and likes from the original broadcast will be visible as well. If multiple replays have been shared, arrows will be displayed at the top so that you can easily switch between the videos.

This feature is part of Instagram version 10.26 which is now out for both iOS and Android.
