Instagram

Instagram changed the requirements for going Live, now requiring creators to have a public account with 1,000 followers or more.

This will frustrate smaller creators who relied on live streaming to engage their audiences, but it reflects a broader trend of platforms tightening live streaming requirements. YouTube, for example, has added minimum age restrictions.
