Recently, there has been quite a lot brewing at Instagram with new features like the ability to add official songs to Stories, and the ability to make video calls.

This feature is currently available for iOS users only with a rollout for Android expected soon.

Coming to video calls, this feature has been rolled out for all users on Instagram. This option is integrated with the Direct Inbox on Instagram. You can make video calls to one person or to a group as well with the maximum member limit being four.
