How do you obtain a live video that you forgot to save to your phone?
Sorry, if you forget to save the live you cannot recover it. Yes, if you have shared the live video as your story once it ended then you can save it before 24 hours…
Hi, i have posted my live video into stories, can it be saved on other device? Coz device i have saved the live story somehow can not put on IG TV and i plan to save from other device and post it thru that device
No, it will not be going to save on other devices because it saved in the storage of that particular device where you have downloaded it at first place. Moreover, Insta allows saving the live video when it ends after that it not. So, What you have to do just transfer that live video from one device to another then put it on IG TV.
