Instagram's new Events channel is your front-row ticket to live videos around the world
Starting Wednesday, Instagram users in the US will see a new video category that curates a personalized selection of videos from live events happening around the world, including concerts, sports events and more.
Instagram's new Explore channel serves up live videos from events happening close to users in the United States.
As if Instagram didn't give you enough FOMO already.
Starting Wednesday, Instagram users in the US will see a new video category pop up in the Explore section of the app that curates a personalized selection of videos from live events happening around the world, including concerts, sports events and more.
The company already introduced "Picked for You" channels in June that targeted videos to users based on their favorite interests, but the Explore content is unique to individuals and uses an algorithm to feed live content from events happening close by, as well as international events like the Olympics.
The Explore category should be available to most, if not all users in the United States now, but the rest of the world should see a roll-out soon, according to a blog post from the company posted Wednesday.
