Meta-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram has enabled Live creators to add moderators to their streams.

The feature can weed out potentially unwanted interactions.

According to Instagram, the moderators can report comments, remove viewers from the stream and turn off comments from a specific user.

A Live streamer will be able to assign moderators by clicking the three dots in the comment section during the Live.

A moderator could be chosen from a list of suggested accounts or searched by username. Only one moderator could be assigned to a stream. However, the feature might expand for multiple users in the future, The Hindu reported.

The chosen moderator will get a pop-up notification. Where viewers will also be notified that the stream is moderated by someone.

Instagram Live was introduced in 2016. Moderation has become a necessary staple.
