How to schedule Instagram lives
Streamline the process of going live on Instagram by scheduling it in advance.
Since Oct. 2021 you’ve had the ability to schedule lives on Instagram. This helpful tool makes the time of your scheduled live visible in your bio, and also gives you the option to post that you’re going to go live so your followers will know about it ahead of time. Beware that Instagram won’t send you a push notification reminding you when your live starts, so you have to remember.
Don’t worry, you can also reschedule or cancel an upcoming scheduled live. We’ll walk you through how to schedule a live and how to cancel a live.
