How can I display Instagram live followers count on my Wix website? | More resources

Wix does not have built-in features to display Instagram live followers count, but offers several integration options for Instagram content on your website.

Instagram Integration Options on Wix

While you cannot directly show live follower counts, Wix provides these Instagram-related features:

Native Instagram Feed App: Wix includes a built-in Instagram Feed element that connects to business accounts to display recent posts in customizable layouts like grid, slider, or collage. You can find this under "Add Elements > Social > Instagram Feed" in the Wix Editor.

Third-Party Widgets for Live Streaming: Services like SociableKIT offer widgets that allow you to embed Instagram live streams on your Wix site. These work by creating a widget in the third-party dashboard, customizing it, then copying and pasting the embed code into your Wix page editor.

Social Media Aggregator Tools: Platforms like Elfsight, Curator.io, and POWR provide Instagram feed apps that can be embedded via HTML iframes or custom code in Wix's Advanced > Custom Code section. These support real-time updates and shoppable posts.

Alternative Approaches

For displaying follower counts, you might consider:

Using Instagram's official embed features for individual posts that show engagement metrics
Creating custom solutions using Instagram's Graph API (requires development skills)
Exploring the Wix App Market for social media apps that may offer enhanced Instagram integration features

Important Note: Instagram's API policies restrict certain data access, including real-time follower counts during live streams, which limits what can be displayed through third-party integrations.

Best Practice

For most Wix users, the most effective approach is to use the native Instagram Feed element to showcase your Instagram content and encourage visitors to follow you directly on Instagram for real-time updates and live stream notifications.
