This is how you can join your friend’s Instagram Livestream

For a past few months, Instagram has been adding up some new feature in an attempt to counter its rival Snapchat. Saying that the feature it has released over the past few months is the exact replica of what is already present in Snapchat including stories, filters and much more.

Instagram added 'Live feature' for its stories a few months back. This has gone well with masses and has continued to grow, allowing users to add friends to their live streams. With the latest update, users can now request to join a live stream that they’re watching and, if accepted, can start broadcasting live as the host’s guest.

Furthermore, the Instagram has added a new “request button” for those who want to be part of their friend’s live streams.
