How to Go Live on Instagram Using GoLiveIndia

Instagram Live is one of the most engaging tools for creators, influencers, and brands. But what if you want more control over your livestream—like using a pre-recorded video, a professional camera setup, or looping content?

That’s where GoLiveIndia comes in. With support for RTMP streaming, GoLiveIndia lets you go live on Instagram from your desktop or mobile browser using advanced settings, without being limited to the mobile app.

This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to stream on Instagram using GoLiveIndia.

Step 1: Create or Log In to Your GoLiveIndia Account

Before you get started, make sure you have an account on GoLiveIndia. You can either log in using your email and password or sign up if you're new to the platform.

How to Create an Account or Login on GoLiveIndia

Once logged in:

1. Open the GoLiveIndia app.

2. Tap on "RTMP Live."
   

Step 2: Choose Your Video Source

After selecting RTMP Live, choose how you’d like to stream:

• Upload a video file

• Paste a video link

• Stream directly from your device’s camera
  

You can also add a title and description for your livestream at this stage. If you want your video to loop continuously, you can enable the loop option as well.

Step 3: Access Instagram in a Desktop Browser

If you're on a mobile device, it’s important to access Instagram through a mobile browser in desktop mode. This is because Instagram Live Producer isn’t fully supported in the mobile app.

Here’s what to do:

1. Open Chrome, Safari, or any other mobile browser.

2. Go to www.instagram.com and log into your account.

3. Tap the browser menu and select “Desktop site” or “Request Desktop Website.”

4. After the desktop version loads, click the “Create” button or access the Live Producer if it's available on your account.

Note: If you have the Instagram mobile app installed, it's a good idea to uninstall or disable it temporarily so it doesn't interfere or redirect you.

Step 4: Get Your Stream URL and Stream Key from Instagram

Once you’re in the Live Producer on desktop mode:

1. Instagram will display your Stream URL and Stream Key.

2. Copy both of these.
   

3. Return to the GoLiveIndia app.

4. Paste the Stream URL into the “Stream URL” field.

5. Paste the Stream Key into the “Stream Key” field.
   

Make sure there are no extra spaces when pasting.

Step 5: Use Recommended Streaming Settings

To ensure the best quality and compatibility for your Instagram livestream, we suggest using the following settings:

Video Settings:

• Aspect ratio: 9:16 (vertical)

• Resolution: 720x1280

• Frame rate: 30 fps (60 fps is supported but may show 30 fps in preview)

• Video bitrate: between 2,250 to 6,000 Kbps

Audio Settings:

• Sample rate: 44.1 kHz

• Channel layout: Stereo

• Audio bitrate: Up to 256 Kbps

These settings have been tested for optimal performance across various networks and devices.

Step 6: Start Your Live Stream

1. If you want the video to play in a loop, enable the loop option.

2. Tap “Live” inside the GoLiveIndia app to begin pushing the stream.

3. Go back to the Instagram browser tab.

4. Once Instagram detects the stream, click “Go Live.”

That’s it—your stream will now be live on your Instagram profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use GoLiveIndia with a regular Instagram account?
Yes, but access to Instagram Live Producer (which provides the Stream Key and URL) is typically available to creator or business accounts. Make sure your account is eligible.

2. Why do I need to use the desktop version of Instagram?
The mobile app and mobile browser version of Instagram don’t give access to Live Producer. The desktop site is required to get the stream URL and key.

3. What if I don’t see the Stream Key or Live Producer?
Live Producer is not available for all accounts. Ensure your account is in good standing, switched to a business or creator profile, and has livestreaming permissions from Instagram.

Yes. GoLiveIndia supports video file uploads and links, so you can stream pre-recorded videos as if they’re live.

5. Will my video be visible on my Instagram profile?
Yes. Once you go live, your followers can watch the stream, and it will appear like any other Instagram Live session.

6. Can I stream in landscape mode?
Yes, but vertical (9:16) is the recommended format for Instagram Live to provide the best viewing experience on mobile.
