Instagram Live Rooms is getting a small but notable update.
During Live broadcasts, hosts will be able to mute their audio like you would in a Zoom or Google Meet call, and they'll also be able to turn off video for chats, bringing a vibe notably similar to the popular audio-based app Clubhouse.
Instagram launched Live Rooms in March, allowing users to chat with three people at once in a Live session, rather than just with one.
"By giving people the option to mute their audio or turn off their video, hosts will have added flexibility for their livestream experience, as the added functionality could help decrease pressure to look or sound a certain way while broadcasting live," Instagram said in a statement emailed to Mashable. Live, the company added, gives creators a "quick, low-lift way to connect with their community and audience and have a real back-and-forth conversation."

Instagram is not the first to follow in Clubhouse's audio-forward footsteps — ICYMI, Clubhouse is basically an audio-based social media app that allows you to jump in and out of chats on a variety of topics. It's like tuning in to a live podcast recording.
