Lights, camera, action! Broadcast your live sale where your shoppers already are by connecting Videeo to your favorite social platforms.
Going “LIVE” on Instagram is a quick and easy way to grab the attention of current followers, target new followers, and convert those followers into loyal customers.
Instagram with Videeo uses a third-party application called Instafeed. We are the first in our industry to offer this type of connection, and we’re really excited for you to take advantage of it! Below, we walk through the process of connecting your account.
