Instagram Launches New Features: Co-Watching

Instagram has launched a new feature called Co-Watching. So what is it and how does it work?

To help people stay connected, Instagram has added a new feature to their popular app which allows you to browse your Insta feed together with your friends over video chat, all in the comfort of your own home!

Other features also include the ‘Stay Home’ sticker that you may have seen popping up in your friend’s stories, as well as a wider rollout of Instagram’s donation stickers.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, several online businesses including Instagram have taken precautions to help keep people informed and supported through the difficult period. Co-Watching is apart of this endeavour to help keep us safe whilst still being able to engage with friends and family members.

Co-Watching has been tested since early 2019.
However, due to the current circumstances, Instagram chose to speed up the testing and release it for users.

‘“We decided to make it available soon so we could offer more ways for people to come together right now,”.

If you had invested in video conference stocks a few months ago you would be reaping the rewards with platforms like Zoom, Skype and Google Hangouts seeing massive growth due to more people being at home.

So how does we use it?

Simply head to your inbox in Instagram and on the top right-hand side there is a video icon. Click that and away you go!

You can take a screenshot of the chat with the button on the bottom left or you can browse through your liked, saved and suggested photos with your friends.

You can also add more friends to the chat so that you can have a big video chat and catch up on all of the latest goss!
