As determined by Facebook, using the Instagram Content Search Stream option requires an Instagram Business account.
Get an Instagram business account and connect it to Arena.im
Here are the necessary steps (required only once for each Instagram account) to make it easier to integrate your Instagram business account with Arena.im.
If you already have a personal Instagram account, you can easily switch it to a business account. Here is a quick tutorial to help you with this.
TIP: If you are working as a team and have multiple Facebook pages and Instagram accounts, we suggest that you use Facebook Business Manager to manage linked Instagram roles and accounts. There are many other benefits to using Facebook Business Manager.
2. The new API requires you to connect your Instagram Business account to a commercial Facebook page. This process is offered to you automatically when you convert your account to an "Instagram Business" account.
If for some reason this connection is not established, you can set / change the link through the Instagram app as described in this Facebook help article.
Now go to Arena.im and connect your Instagram business account.
Sign in to Arena.im and access some Stream (this may be within a Liveblog, Content Wall or Chat), select the Instagram tab.
