Perhaps you are wondering how to meet the TikTok requirements to go live.

How many people are required to follow TikTok?

Do you wonder why TikTok Live doesn’t work for you? TikTok Live might not be right for you.

To go live on TikTok, you must be at least 16 years old and have 1000 or more followers

If you are 16 years old, have gained 1000 followers, or don’t see an option to live stream immediately, don’t panic. You may need to wait for TikTok records to be updated before your live stream can be enabled.

You may have broken TikTok policies if you’re still not able to use TikTok live. Your account may be suspended or reviewed.

Creators over 18 can now receive virtual gifts when TikTok goes live. TikTok’s community guidelines forbid soliciting gifts. While you are on TikTok, it is best to avoid asking for gifts or offering incentives to receive gifts.

What’s TikTok Live?

TikTok Live allows you to broadcast live videos and interact with your followers in real-time. TikTok Live lets you upload pre-recorded videos and increases your online reach.

How to live together on TikTok

If it seems overwhelming

TikTok lets you invite up to 20 moderators to your TikTokLive event.

TikTok allows you to live with someone:

  1. These are the steps to get your TikTok account up and running.
  2. You will see a list of suggested hosts. These are people who are interested in viewing your live video or have requested to join it.
  3. To invite your co-hosts, click “Invite”.

To request to join your live stream, click the two-smiley icon in the comment box. If they are approved, they will be able to connect to you, the host.

Living with other TikTok users is a great way to reach new audiences, increase your reach and expand your reach.
