Instagram live archive sites compared
There are a handful of sites archiving celebrity Instagram Live broadcasts. The two things that actually differ between them are how recently each was updated, and whether they archive Instagram Stories as well as live streams.

Where IGLiveStream is stronger
Stories. Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours and most archives ignore them entirely. They are more than half of what we hold, 7,721 story compilations against 4,169 live broadcasts. If you are looking for a story someone posted last week, an archive that only covers live streams cannot help.
Currency. New stories are captured every day, so the archive covers what happened recently, not only what happened years ago.
Where other archives are stronger
Sites that have been running longer often have deeper coverage of 2019–2021 live broadcasts, and a broader roster of accounts from that era. If you are looking for a specific broadcast from that period, it is worth checking more than one archive, including ours.
We are also explicit about our gaps: there are no videos between 2022 and 2025 in this archive, and coverage of any account only begins when we started tracking it. See the statistics page for exact per-year counts.
Why no archive is complete
A live broadcast can only be archived if something recorded it while it was running, Instagram deletes it when it ends and there is no way to fetch it afterwards. The same is true of stories after 24 hours. Every archive is therefore a record of what someone chose to capture at the time, and none of them can be exhaustive.
