How to go live on TikTok?
TIKTOK has exploded in popularity since its launch in 2016.
It had 800 million active users worldwide by 2020, but many are not aware of its many functions, and going live is one feature that is fun to explore.

How to go live on TikTok?
Unlike some social media platforms, TikTok has some minimum requirements before your account is permitted to go live.
You need a minimum of 1,000 followers and you must be aged 16 or over (although you can create an account from the age of 13).
Once you’ve satisfied these requirements, you can live stream by following these steps:
First, open the application and tap the “+” button at the bottom of the screen.
This will lead you to the “Live” option under the record button.
Now create a title for your live stream. This is crucial as your title may come up from searches and tags.
Your title must accurately describe the content of your stream; this is a good way to get more traction from people who aren’t following you.
Once you’re ready, click “Go live” to begin. Once you’re done, simply press “X” to end the stream.
How many followers do I need to go live on TikTok?
To go live on TikTok, you will need a minimum number of 1,000 followers.
This rule is in place to ensure that only popular accounts can go live, and therefore the content you are likely to broadcast will be of interest to a substantial number of people.
It also ensures that you have a goal to strive towards – so the more followers you gain, the more people interact with you, which adds up to more views overall on TikTok.
By early 2021 there were over a million live streamers on TikTok.

Who can see TikTok live?
TikTok is an open platform, so anyone with a user account can view your live stream.
Viewers can search any account and tell if they are live streaming because their profile picture will have a pink ring around it with the word “live” at the top.
To find live streams in the TikTok app, go to the inbox tab at the bottom of your screen.
You will then see a Top Lives button.
Hit watch and you can scroll through live streams.
