Instagram is working on a feature that will allow users to stream and view live video from the app. 

Instagram would join other apps like Periscope, Facebook and Snapchat, all of which offer a similar feature.

As per a report by Russian news website T Journal,  Instagram is testing the live video feature in its 'Stories' section for some users on the beta Android app in Russia. In order to start a broadcast, users simply have to click on a red button that says 'Go Insta'.

In August, Instagram launched 'Stories' feature (Which is similar to Snapchat's Story feature).  That allows users to create a single video out of multiple images and small video clips, which can then be shared with friends. After 24 hours of sharing this video, it disappears.

After introducing Snapchat-style stories to the app, Instagram is now letting users find other people's Stories through its Explore tab. At the top of the Explore page, users can expect to find a new suggested stories section, which highlights interesting stories from across Instagram’s community.

To go live, users simply click a large red button titled ‘Go Insta!’ that (presumably) starts the broadcast.

Instagram hasn’t yet officially announced anything to do with live video and has so far declined to comment on report.
