Instagram added Live Moderator. When creators go live, they now have the ability to assign someone as a moderator. This gives them the power to report comments, remove viewers from Live, and turn off comments for a viewer.

“Anyone who's done a Live knows the managing the comments can become unwieldy while you do your thing. So today we're launching Live Moderator, which lets you assign someone as a moderator when you go Live so they can manage the comments on your behalf,” Instagram head Adam Mosseri tweeted, announcing the feature.

Instagram's new feature, which is similar to TikTok's LIVE Moderators feature that debuted over the summer, allows creators to assign a trusted friend to assist them during their live streams. The unpredictability of live streaming makes moderators instrumental in keeping creators' live experiences positive.
