This feature is similar to Facebook Live or Twitter's Periscope. What is different is, live video can only be seen on Instagram really directly. In other words, Instagram does not save the live video that can not be seen after the show ends.
The second is the content ephmeral which is the addition to the features of Instagram Direct. With this feature you can send videos or photos directly to friends or groups on Instagram Direct.
After a photo or video was viewed by the intended person, then it will automatically disappear.

The second feature is scheduled to be enjoyed by hundreds of millions of users Instagram in the world in the coming week.
