Instagram Channel: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has introduced a new feature on Instagram named ‘Broadcast Channel’. Instagram creators will benefit from this feature. Through this, creators will be able to message their followers. That is, the creator will be able to send messages, images, poll questions, etc. to many followers at a time. At the same time, the followers present in the channel will only be able to react to the message. Mark Zuckerberg himself has started this feature by creating a broadcast channel where he will give information about new updates coming to the Meta platform.
The feature has been made live only for some people here
Let us tell you, at present the Instagram channel feature has been released for some users in the US. Its testing is currently going on, which will be made live for everyone in the coming time. With the help of this feature, creators can inform their followers about upcoming updates or ‘behind the scenes’. It is also being said that Instagram will add more new features to the broadcast channel in the coming days so that the experience of creators and followers can be further improved.
understand by example
Suppose you are a popular creator and want to tell your followers that you have a new video coming after a week. In such a situation, through the Instagram channel feature, you can convey this to your followers that soon they will get to see a new video. Till now the creators were able to give any new update to their followers only through story or post, but now they will have another way through which they can keep their point to direct followers. With the help of this feature, the creators will be able to get the feedback of the people and they will be able to work on it.

Will be able to pin your channel on profile
As soon as the channel feature goes live on Instagram, creators will be able to create their own channel easily. Along with this, they will also be able to ask their followers to join the channel. Meta will soon give Instagram creators the option to pin their channel on their profile. Note, anyone can see the Instagram channel but the updates coming inside it will be available only to those who are a part of the channel. Whenever a creator will create a new channel, his followers will get to know about it through a notification. Now it depends on the follower whether he wants to join the channel or not. The follower will get the facility that he will be able to mute the channel etc.
If you want to join the channel of a creator whom you do not follow, then you can do this work by visiting the profile of the creator. Here you will get the link of the broadcast channel. After joining the channel, you will get updates from time to time in DM. The new feature is better than the already existing ‘Story Feature’ because through this the creator can reach his information to specific people whereas in Story Feature anyone can see the information. Means haters or trollers can also see the information.
