BBC One and BBC Two are now under the TV streamer's Channels tab, while BBC iPlayer appears on the Google Play Store with a new download option. BBC iPlayer allows anyone to pays for a TV license in the UK to watch their favorite shows and movies live, on-demand or downloaded to their device. It has already been available for use on Google TV and Android TV. Google launched its TV Streamer in September as a replacement for the Chromecast line. It retails for $100 and features a smart home panel that allows users to see and control devices like lights, thermostats and doorbell cameras.

It seems that Instagram is working on a community chat feature that allows people to organize groups of up to 250 people in the app. The so-far unreleased feature was spotted by developer Alessandro Paluzzi, who has a solid track record of uncovering new features within Metas apps. According to screenshots shared by Paluzzi, it seems that community chats will function similarly to Discord. Individual users can form the chats around specific topics and control who can join, though theres apparently a limit of 250 people per community. Unlike Instagrams broadcast channels, which allow creators to blast out messages to their followers, anyone who is in the community chat can participate in the conversation. There are also built-in moderation features. Admins can remove messages and members to keep the channel safe, the screenshot says. We also review Community Chat against our Community Standards. Its not clear when, or if, the feature may launch. An Instagram spokesperson described it as an internal prototype thats not being tested outside the company. But Meta has previously released similar features in its other apps. WhatsApp began experimenting with a Communities feature in 2022, and brought Community Chats to Facebook and Messenger later that same year. Mark Zuckerberg said at the time it was meant to help people find a new way to connect with people who share your interests.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/instagram-is-experimenting-with-a-discord-like-community-chat-feature-234832236.html?src=rss
