To go Live you simply swipe right on the Instagram homepage and you’ll now see the option to start recording live video in addition to your normal Story.

Friends will then get a notification that you’ve gone live and can comment and respond with Likes if they enjoy whatever antics you’re getting up to.

For those that prefer a more fleeting form of media you now have the option to take Snapchat-style self-destructing images and video.
