TikTok’s new feature of going live lets users connect with their followers. However, there are restrictions on who can go live at any given time. Here’s what you should know.
TikTok is rapidly rising to become one of the most used social media apps. TikTok is a relatively new social media app that has many features to help its creators connect with their followers.
TikTok’s latest addition is the ability to go live. This allows TikTokers stream and chat with viewers. Although viewers can interact with other users directly, they must have a certain number of followers and meet the age requirements to go live.
How to make your account TikTok live?
It is very easy to go live on TikTok once you have the access.
- Tap the Create icon (the plus sign at the bottom) on your home screen.
- Swipe to Live
- Choose an image and a title to create the stream
- Once you are ready, click the Go Live button and the stream will begin.
- Are you done streaming? You are done streaming? Tap the X at the top-left corner
These steps will help you host a successful TikTok live stream.
How many people do you need to be live on TikTok?
To enable the feature, users must be at 16 years of age. TikTok has also restricted the number of accounts that can be live to users who have more than 1,000 followers.
Gift points can be earned by users who are over 18 years old, but not those under 18.
This means that you will not be able to access the going live feature if your TikTok follower limit is reached.
