You may see a pop-up that is introducing this feature. You will be able to invite others to your Room after you start a live session. Your views will also have an option to request being in the Room. There you can get access to your lenses and additional live settings. After the end of your Rooms session, you can also save it to your IGTV videos.

Instagram Rooms feature was [presented last week along with a viewing functionality](https://www.testingcatalog.com/instagram-rooms-are-now-available-for-viewing-on-android/) available to everyone. Now you can also browse IGTV Explore sections to watch more Rooms.
