You may have heard that a little while back, Instagram rolled out Instagram Live Producer, a way to live stream on Instagram right from your desktop. Gone are the days of being tied to your phone for Instagram lives!

But there's a twist: You can't just plug in your webcam and go live. You need streaming software - but that's a good thing.

A good streaming platform will add a professional touch to your live streams. Think screen sharing, multiple speakers, multi-camera setups, and even simulcasting to different social platforms. And it's pretty easy to link a streaming platform to your Instagram account.
