As for Live, the insights tool will show accounts reached, peak concurrent viewers, comments, and shares. These metrics will also be found in account insights so that creators can see the bigger picture of their performance of their account on the platform. Additionally, Instagram has also launched “Reach” for account insights. This will give a breakdown of “which types of accounts you’re reaching and which content formats are the most effective at driving reach”. This way the creator can work more efficiently to create the content.
