Sometimes, we see that some users asking the “Instagram Live isn’t working” question. We will offer you a few solution suggestions for this annoying problem.

Instagram Live is one of the innovations offered by Instagram; thanks to the “Instagram Live” feature, Instagram users started to broadcast live from their accounts.

      If you’re blocked, it is possibly temporary. You’ll have to wait until Instagram lets you go live again. When they do, try not to repeat the actions that got you blocked.

      Hello, this may be a result of using the wrong camera. Is there a chance that you are using the back camera on the live session? Try to flip it to the front one.

    Hi, I ran an Instargram Live session today, shared with another person but although I clicked end and then save, I cannot find my video. The only error message I see is in a red bar at the foot of a black screen that reads: “Rights to content may belong to someone else.”
    Please can you help?

      Seems like this glitch started recently on Instagram. If you haven’t included banned words, there is an error on Instagram. Try to restart the app. Delete and reinstall if necessary.

      Are you sure you haven’t hidden the comments? Tap on the screen and see if comments appear.

    After going live, I go to my live archive and share the video to my feed along with a video preview to my main profile. But, I’ve noticed that some of my older live videos have disappeared from both my videos tab and from my primary feed. Is this because IG deletes the archive in 30 days…and with it any evidence of the video from across my account, even when it has been shared as a post?
