Users can now mute audio or video in Instagram Live broadcasts. — Instagram

Instagram has launched two new functions in its application, letting users take a breather right in the middle of a Live broadcast. Whether muting the audio or the video, users can now cut the mic or the camera during a livestream – functions that echo the options in Clubhouse.

Could audio-only livestreams be the next big thing for Instagram influencers? Instagram unveiled two new user functions, April 29. Via channels including its official Twitter account, the Facebook-owned social network said it hoped to “normalise not always being ‘on’” by allowing users to mute their mic or camera during live broadcasts.
