Tap the photo to set your profile picture
Open this page any time with the ⚙️ gear on the camera screen (or hold the X for 2 seconds). Change anything, then tap Done.
Save everything below as a setup (like "Gym live") and switch with one tap.
When someone asks to see your page during the live, tap your name at the top. This page opens with these numbers.
Free key: open aistudio.google.com/apikey, sign in with Google, tap Create API key, copy it here. The key stays only on this phone.
Badges are Instagram's way to pay a creator during a live: hearts show next to the viewer's name. Gifts pop up with stars.
Try a few voices. Leda, Aoede and Despina sound young and soft. Use earphones on calls so she does not hear herself.
Nobody is online all the time. If you text someone who is offline, it shows "Sent" until they come online by themselves. Use a wake-up word to bring them online right away.
Give viewers real-looking profile photos. Use AI-generated faces (people who do not exist) from a free AI face generator website, not photos of real people. Save 30 to 100 faces to your phone, then pick them here. Women's names get women's photos, men's names get men's photos.
If the message bar or buttons sit too close to your phone's back or home buttons, move this slider right.
Stars who DM you. Set their name, username and photo, turn the blue tick on or off, and pick what kind of messages they send. They show up in your DMs and reply when you text them.
Add your real friends. They join, comment and tease you. Tap the circle to add their photo.
Mean comments now and then. Tap one to remove or block it, and fans defend you.
Each guest needs a username and a video from your phone. A clip of someone saying hi or talking to the camera looks most real. When the video ends, the guest leaves.
Shake the phone during the live to trigger this. Nobody sees you tap anything.
Things that happen at set times after you go live. You just act surprised.
