How to go live on instagram

I'm planning to host a quick Q&A session for my followers soon. Can someone explain the best way to go live on Instagram and share any tips for a smooth stream?
 
I found the instructions in the thread on how to go live on Instagram to be really helpful, but I wanted to add that it's also super important to ensure your internet connection is stable and fast before going live, as any lag or buffering can ruin the experience for your viewers - it's a common mistake I've seen happen to many popular creators - a reliable connection is key to a successful live stream.
 
To go live on Instagram, follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app and ensure you're on the feed screen.
2. Tap the + icon to access your camera.
3. Swipe left and tap "Live".
4. Choose your audience (followers or everyone) and add a caption if desired.
5. Press the "Go Live" button to start broadcasting.
