This week we launched a new channel on the very new IGTV, which is Instagram's new platform aimed at becoming television for the next generation.

The channel is called Keeping Up With Kamichat and will come out each Sunday at 4:30 pm.

Keeping Up With Kamichat

The channel is for communicators and entrepreneurs to help them build their online tribe and keep up-to-date on the emerging trends that you need to know to keep on top of online business in social media. It will cover everything that you need to know to keep up with changes and features in social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

You can embed your episodes in your blog, so I have done that here with episode 1, and you don't even need to be logged into Instagram to watch.

In this episode, we talk about cool new features across social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Plus, we answer the buring question, when should you use IGTV vs. stories? Let's get started.

Show notes from Episode One. When You Should You Use IGTV vs. Regular Stories

New Instagram Features

  • You can now use your stories to promote your IGTV episodes by adding a link to your new episodes. the link will show up once you publish your first episode. Unlike swipe up to visit an outside link, this does not require you to have 10,000 followers.
  • Music Stickers – You can now add music to your stories with the new music sticker. You can search for music to match your message.

New LinkedIn Feature

  • Just when you thought QR Codes were so 2008, Linked adds them as a major feature in their mobile app, they also have included a QR reader. I like this feature to get connected at in-person conferences.

New Facebook Features

  • New GIF poll. You can add a poll in your Facebook feed with two choices of photos or GIFs. You can use this in your personal feed as well as brand pages.

New Twitter Feature

  • You can now watch live video while continuing to browse your feed. This is good if you plan to watch the live stream of an event like my monthly Social Media Breakfast of Houston (#SMBHOU), where you can watch the feed and at the same time join in the hashtag conversation with those who are attending live. You can only use this feature on mobile.
