Instagram’s live video feature is now a bit less ephemeral, thanks to the Facebook-owned social media company’s announcement(Opens in a new window) on Monday that its users can now save any live videos they broadcast through the app.

The new capability more closely aligns Instagram’s video feature set with that of its parent company and rival Twitter, both of which allow live video streams to be saved after they’re broadcast. Instagram users will have to update to version 10.12 of the iOS or Android apps, which are available now.

Instagram clearly intends the new feature as a bit of an afterthought: you won’t see the option to save footage until after you’ve ended a live stream, and tapping “save” won’t keep the video’s comments, likes, or viewing statistics. In other words, saving Instagram videos will mostly be useful for people who accidentally stumble across something memorable while they’re filming.

The new save option is only available to the broadcaster, which means that your friends don’t have the option to save your video. Since the footage is stored locally on your smartphone, your ability to save will depend on how much free space your device has. Instagram won’t impose a length limit for saved videos, although the app’s help center cautions that “it may take a minute for a live video to save to your phone, especially for longer videos.”
