In 2021, Instagram is testing a new feature, namely the function to add a moderator that will help creators while they are live.
This moderator will be in charge of monitoring, deleting and reporting inappropriate comments, then deactivating comments and even deleting viewers who they find disturbing.
Simply put, with the moderator feature, it will make the creator focus more on the content when doing a live broadcast. While those who work behind the scenes can help to ensure the live broadcast goes well.
For users who use the Instagram Live feature quite often, of course the presence of this moderator feature will be very helpful.
Launching from Ubergizmo, later creators can add a moderator by simply tapping the menu icon in the comment bar and searching for a specific person who wants to be a moderator, or they can also use suggestions from Instagram.
This kind of moderator feature is nothing new. Other platforms like Twitch have long allowed streamers to assign moderators to their live streams.
Given that Twitch is basically a platform for people to live stream, the moderator feature makes more sense compared to Instagram. But of course the addition of this feature on Instagram will certainly be welcomed by many users because more and more of them are broadcasting live.
