Instagram Introduces Camera and Mic Disabling Option
For those of you who use Instagram Live, it may please you to know that you no longer have to run video or audio feeds in order to broadcast. So, if you want, you're able to broadcast a blank screen now, or just show your video feed if you don't want environmental sounds bleeding into your stream.
Instagram has yet to announce the extra features officially via its blog, but a TechCrunch article broke the news, confirming Instagram's tweet and explaining the features in more detail.
Why Would You Disable Your Camera and Mic on Instagram Live?
There are countless reasons you might need to disable video and/or audio feeds in Instagram Live.
Perhaps the location you are broadcasting from has suddenly become noisy thanks to an influx of people. Here, disabling audio would be a sensible option, as you don't want your live feed to be disrupted by external, uncontrollable sound sources.
