Can You Rewatch Lives You Missed? - Instagram Live Archive

Missed a Live? Here’s what you can (and can’t) do about it as a viewer.

Ever scrolled past an Instagram notification saying someone is “Live now”, only to realize later—you missed it?

And then you wonder: “Can I rewatch that Instagram Live? Is there some kind of archive for viewers?”

Is There an Instagram Live Archive for Viewers?

Not really.

Instagram doesn’t offer a proper archive for viewers. If the person who went live doesn’t share the replay to their Story, the video is gone. And even when they do, it’s only up for 24 hours.

  • ✅ No history of Lives you watched
  • ❌ No notification if a replay is posted
  • ❌ No way to save it unless you screen-record it manually

So if you missed it... you likely missed it for good.

Why It’s Frustrating for Viewers

Instagram Lives often feature:

  • Live Q&As with creators
  • Product announcements or sales
  • Behind-the-scenes content
  • Tips, tutorials, or workouts

And if those are gone without warning, it's frustrating. Especially when it's something you were looking forward to or wanted to rewatch later.

What If You Could Save the Lives You Watch?

This is where Rewind Live comes in—built for viewers like you who don’t want to miss out.
