How do I send a stream to Instagram Live Producer?

Instagram should receive the intended picture and sound before you publish.

Before you start

Use an account with available Live Producer access; check the audience before publishing.

Where to find it

The Instagram Broadcast Output Profile and Instagram Live Producer in your browser.

Steps

  1. In Live Producer choose the audience and copy its current server URL and stream key.
  2. Enter these in the Instagram profile, review feed/audio and save/attach it.
  3. Start the MCast output and check the incoming preview in Instagram.
  4. Choose Go Live in Instagram only when ready.
  5. End the live video in Instagram before stopping the MCast output.

Check the result

Instagram should receive the intended picture and sound before you publish.

Helpful information

Use Practice when offered. Starting the MCast output and publishing in Instagram are separate actions; the current Live Producer key is required.

If something is wrong

Check current key, audience, attached destination and account access. Keep the key private.
