Simply post a comment on your live video, tap on your comment, and select “Pin Comment” so that it appears with a pinned tag on your Instagram live.
Managing Your Instagram Comments
The ‘Disable Comments’ feature lets you easily block off any bad vibes from your posts. Just tap the three-dot menu in the comment section and select ‘Turn off commenting’ to block all comments.
