Instagram has recently launched a new feature that allows users to video chat inside messages. This new feature is similar to Facetime or Snapchat, where users can directly video chat with other people. In this post, we will guide you on how to use the video chat feature on Instagram.
To access the video chat option, you can either do it through your homepage or go to the chatbox. If you go to your direct messages icon, which is located on the top right-hand corner of your screen, you will be directed to a page where you can select someone to chat with. Once you have selected a person, you will see a camera icon on top. Click on it to initiate a video chat.
It is important to note that this feature was just launched in June 2018, so make sure you have the latest version of Instagram installed. Also, it may take a while for Instagram to roll out this feature, so be patient.
During the video chat, you can turn your video on or off by clicking the camera icon. You can also mute the sound by pressing the mute button. On the left side of the screen, you will see an icon that allows you to go back to Instagram and browse while the video chat is still on. The video chat can have up to four people.
Another way to access the video chat feature on Instagram is by searching for someone and then clicking on the messages button. From there, you can jump into their direct message box and press the video chat button.
In conclusion, using the video chat feature on Instagram is a great way to stay connected with friends and family. We hope this guide has been helpful in showing you how to use this feature. Remember to update your Instagram app to the latest version and be patient if the feature does not appear immediately.
