Instagram is
releasing a new live-stream moderator option that it has been working on for
the past few months. Using the option, users can assign moderators within their
live-streams. The moderator will be given control options like being able to
report comments, remove viewers from a stream and turn off comments for a
specific viewer.
Having a
moderator in Instagram live-streams could help users manage the flow of content.
It could also be helpful in addressing concerns such as inappropriate actions
from viewers, since harassment and bullying during live-streams is quite common
and can get difficult to control, as it happens in real time.
You can
access the moderator option within your live-stream window from the menu
icon on the comment bar. After searching for a specific person, you can choose
them as the moderator.
The option
will likely make live-stream management easier, as well as improve security
within the broadcasts, hence being a valuable addition to the platform.
