Instagram is a popular media-sharing platform where you can share and like videos and photos. However, to protect copyright, Instagram does not provide a built-in option to download most photos and videos posted on the platform, including live broadcasts. Unless the creator has shared the live video, the live content disappears once the live broadcast ends. In addition, shared live videos only exist for 24 hours. So, many people want to download Instagram live videos for offline viewing. The good news is that there are several practical ways to do this.
