First of all, you have to be at least 16 years old. This is because you&#8217;ll need at least 1,000 followers to go live on the app. Once you reach this threshold, you can simply tap on the live button to start streaming. After that, all you have to do is wait for your fans to re-rate your video and post their comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_must_be_at_least_16_years_old_to_go_live_on_TikTok\"><\/span>You must be at least 16 years old to go live on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You must be at least 16 years old to get started and go live on TikTok. You must have a thousand followers before you can livestream. You must also be over 16 to send Live Gifts. To go live, you must have a bank account to deduct Coins from your account. Follow these steps and you&#8217;ll be on your way to becoming a livestreaming star on TikTok!<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that underage users can&#8217;t send virtual gifts to other users. TikTok prohibits this practice, but many users have figured out a way around the law by putting a PO box address in their bio. You can then use this address to send virtual gifts to viewers, or to exchange them for real cash. However, you should be aware that this method is not very secure and can cause unwanted trouble for your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_must_have_at_least_1000_followers\"><\/span>You must have at least 1,000 followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have more than a few hundred followers, you can go live on TikTok, and it&#8217;s a great way to engage with your community and drive traffic to your channel. Going live on TikTok doesn&#8217;t require any editing, so you can just get in front of the camera and start recording! You might be shy at first, but bringing a friend along can help you overcome this.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to going live on TikTok is to verify your phone number. You need to enter your phone number in the box and follow the instructions. It&#8217;s important to make your videos relevant to your audience and use popular hashtags. If possible, follow other TikTok users with large followings. These methods are proven to work, so get started now! However, if you&#8217;re just starting out, the 1,000-follower requirement can be a bit of a challenge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_flip_the_camera\"><\/span>You can flip the camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most fun ways to interact with your followers on TikTok is to flip your camera to go live. To do this, you must first allow yourself to go live. Then, swipe to Live in the navigation bar and select an image and title for your stream. Then, click &#8220;Go Live.&#8221; During your stream, you can change your settings to suit your preferences. To flip the camera, simply hit the three dots next to the video window and tap &#8220;Inverted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once you reach 1,000 followers, you will have the option to go live. You can&#8217;t send money to your audience, but you can accept virtual gifts in the form of tips. TikTok has strict rules on solicitation of gifts and content. However, if your goal is to raise money for charity, you can accept donations and offer prizes to your audience. Fortunately, there are several ways to make money on TikTok.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_turn_on_comments\"><\/span>You can turn on comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to respond to comments from viewers, you can turn on the comments feature when you go live in Tiktok. By enabling comments, you can interact with your viewers in real time. However, you can also turn them off if you do not wish to engage with them. Whether you want to engage with your audience or keep the comments to yourself, here are some tips to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, go to the &#8220;live&#8221; section in the Tiktok app. From there, you can control whether or not comments appear on your live videos. If you want to turn on comments, you must be live in order to make changes. You cannot change the settings for comments while you are in your profile. To turn on comments, go live and select &#8220;Show comments&#8221; on the menu.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_add_filters\"><\/span>You can add filters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can go live on TikTok, you must have a thousand followers. After this, you can start using effects and filters on your video. After going live, you can select the filter you want to use, and you can add more filters and effects if you desire. However, you must remember that the filters will affect your videos only, not your followers&#8217; accounts. If you want to use filters, you must first have 1,000 followers.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok filters are like layers that are superimposed on a video. Just like color filters in an editing program, these are predefined and consistent. Each filter affects the entire video, so choose carefully when applying one. The filters available are Portrait, Landscape, Food, and Vibe. In the Effects menu, tap the name of the filter that you would like to apply to a video.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"249\" width=\"445\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qHIpTmL1rK4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Go Live in TikTok If you&#8217;re wondering how to go live in TikTok, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
