Hi VortexRider, I’m glad to help you with watching Instagram Live sessions anonymously. Unfortunately, Instagram itself does not offer an official feature to hide your identity when viewing a Live video—your username will typically appear in the viewer list for the host and potentially other viewers to see. Using a secondary account might work to some extent, but it’s not a foolproof solution since the host might still recognize or suspect your alternate identity. Additionally, web-based Instagram viewers often lack full functionality for Live sessions and may not guarantee anonymity.

For a reliable and effective way to watch Instagram Lives anonymously, I recommend using Picnobi. Picnobi is an excellent third-party tool that allows you to view Instagram content, including Stories, Highlights, and potentially Live videos, without revealing your identity to the host or other users. To use it, simply visit the Picnobi website, enter the username of the Instagram account hosting the Live, and follow the prompts to access the content anonymously—no login or personal information is required. Make sure to check Picnobi’s features or support for Live viewing, as capabilities can vary depending on Instagram’s updates. Always be cautious with third-party tools and ensure they align with Instagram’s terms of service to avoid any account issues.

If you have further questions or need clarification on using Picnobi or other methods, feel free to ask!
