Instagram launches a channel with event videos
In Instagram they don't know how to sit idly by and, although lately they can be accused of plagiarism, they continue to improve their videos with new features . Thus, after the presentation of Instagram Stories or the historias de Instagram, which are slightly less that a copy of the stories of Snapchat, now they launch their event channels for the section ExploraA place to collect the videos of the events that are taking place at that moment to see everything that happens without leaving the photography application.
This is the event channels, a section that now appears in the tab Explore , where until now you could find photos and videos of other related users. Well, from this moment on, if there is any concert of interest to the user, or Olympic or sports events of any kind that the user might like, it will appear a channel where you can watch videos of said event. It's that simple. As if it were a television channel with the different videos recorded by users participating in the event
Just jump to the Explore tab and scroll down a bit. Thus, in addition to the recent section Videos that you may like that Instagram recently added, and the rest of the photos and videos that are usually shown, it is possible to find asection that occupies the entire width of the screenIt could be women's gymnastics in relation to the Olympic Games trials, Adele's most recent concert , a national celebration, etc. Whatever it is, it appears marked and taking up more space on the grid to attract attention.
A simple click on this event channel makes the screen occupy its entirety with a video. Thus begins the reproduction of all those videos that Instagram has collected around said event. As if it were television, they go playing one after the other without pause Of course, with a simple slide of the finger upwards it is possible to skip the current video and go to the next following. And vice versa to go back to the previous one.
The curious thing about this function is that Instagram has worked to offer the events that really interest the user.Thus, as with the rest of the photos and videos in this section, it is in charge of analyzing the likes and followers of each user to find thecontent that you might like, be it sports, music or any other event that is taking place somewhere on the planet and that is of interest to the user. In this way, each event channel will be different for each user, broadcasting only the most interesting videos in each case.
The only problem is that, for now, Instagram has launched this feature only in United States Although his aspiration is to take it to a global scale, we will still have to wait some time to see it in Spain It will suffice to keep the application updated at its latest version, although it will be up to Instagram to open up to new markets when the function is ready.
