How To Make An Instagram Live With Slides, Audio And Video

A week ago I managed to test some new tricks that I had in mind and I was able to verify that it is possible to make a live Instagram with slides, audio and video. Yes, you may wonder: Is that really possible? And one of the things that I love doing the most is being able to show you all the functions that Instagram offers you to be able to customize our online presence, including your Instagram Live.

Lately we are in a stage where we must be sheltered at home, which prevents conferences, workshops, live workshops from still standing ... but that has been a reason for all entrepreneurs, businessmen, bloggers and influencers to take advantage of this function and take their knowledge through an Instagram Live, where they can reach a higher audience percentage.

That's why today I want to show you how you can make a presentation on an Instagram live with videos, slides, images and audios to make a difference among so many.

Do you want to know how to do it with me? Let's get started.

Design your templates

To begin, it is essential that you design the templates or images that you want to share on your Instagram Live, for this I recommend the following tools:

- Canva

- Adobe Illustrator

- Photoshop

- Powerpoint

- Keynote

Template structure

It is important that you prepare a small guide or scheme of how you want to structure your live, so that according to that, you can design the slides and share them in order. Here I share the structure that I made for my Instagram Live .

Presentation phase

Introduction:

Template that you will place while users connect or while you greet them. You can do it with the title of your Instagram Live .

Example:

Live development phase

For this phase we recommend you make between 5 or 6 templates where you can easily develop the theme that you will share through your Instagram Live. It is always important to note that when doing the live, we are given a limit of 1 hour and we must take it into account so as not to extend our message.

You can distribute it as I show you below:

Important: As you can see, I listed the slides in the order that I was going to present them on Instagram Live, so it would be much easier to identify them on my reel and I also attached keywords so as not to saturate the templates with content. Remember to do something super organic and digestible for your followers, that way they are more receptive to the message.

Make a summary

When you finish developing your topic on Instagram Live , make a template attaching the points you discussed with keywords or key recommendations that your followers should not forget, in this way you will help them refresh their memory in case something escaped them.

Farewell phase

Make in the final template the option that users can ask you questions in case there is any doubt. This will allow you to generate greater engagement with your audience. And you can even spend about 15 minutes exclusively answering questions.

After having thrown the question and answer template you can conclude with a template of a quote that relates to your topic, or if you are about to sell a service or product, it is time to launch your offer.

Recommendations for designing templates

- The measurements that you must use to make the templates are 1920 x 1080 pixels.

- Do not use a white background or light colors. If you do, you will not be able to see the comments of those who connect to your Instagram Live.

- Do not saturate the text templates, on the contrary, seek to highlight key points of the topic you are dealing with.

- List the templates in the order you are going to show them to make it easier to identify them on your reel of images.

- Add a call to action in each image to generate more interaction. For example: add an emoji or hit the heart button provided by Instagram Live.

- Add your name and social networks in a corner so that people who connect can know what you do and / or follow you.

- Be balanced between videos, text and images.

- Use your color palette in your template.

- Use legible fonts with a suitable size.

Now the question you will ask yourself ...

What do I do after having made an Instagram live with slides, audio and video?

After having made your Instagram Live, we know that you have the opportunity to publish it for 24 hours in your stories and you will do that by clicking on the Save option and then Share. This option will come out immediately at the end of your live show!

As you know, I am a lover of recycling content, so after 24 hours have passed and people have seen the recording of your Instagram Live , you will be in charge of publishing the templates that you used in your Instagram Feed.

This will allow people who did not see the live to see the publication on your Instagram feed and it will be a success.

As you do?

Change the format that you used in the templates and adapt it to the dimensions of the Instagram Feed that are 1080 x 1080.

If you want to dig deeper dimensions, I invite you to see my post on Instagram formats Instagram strategies where you will meet the 3 formats and offers 5 types of content that lets you + stories.

Add a small summary of everything you commented on your Instagram live and voila.

I hope this post helps you make the difference between so many Instagram Live that are being carried out at the moment and you can surprise your audience with some presentations that will leave them with their mouths open.
