Instagram has been improving its platform with a lot of new tools lately. The ability to add moderators to live videos is one of the new features Instagram has been developing. The moderator will have the power to turn comments, requests to go live, questions, and other features off.
Instagram might bring the ability to add moderators to live videos
Alessandro Paluzzi from Twitter provided some screenshots showing some of the new features of Instagram for its iOS version.

Now, Paluzzi has provided us an update on the progress of this feature, telling us that Instagram will allow users to add only one moderator to a live video. Until now we did not know how many people could have the ability to moderate a live stream.
It is not presently possible to add moderators to lives, and because this has become one of the most essential elements for Instagram and content producers, the company is working hard to make it appealing.
Likes on Stories is still a thing
According to Paluzzi, Instagram is still working on the ability to like a Story.

He went into further specifics, informing us that the likes would be placed in the same location as the Story viewers. Now, he revealed how the like button will appear in the viewer list.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict when or whether Instagram will add these features. We’ll keep an eye on it.
