TikTok is a platform that is full of great videos from different creators. The platform can give you free access to watch those favorite videos of yours.

You can also follow those people that you want to keep getting videos from. Are you new to TikTok and will like to go live without the conditional 1000 followers?

One common feature of today’s social media platform is the ability to go live and those watching you will see your videos in real-time.

Basic Requirements to Go Live on TikTok

Here are some terms you must satisfy before you go live on TikTok.

• You must get 1000 followers before you can go live.
• Only 16 years of age are allowed. If you are less than this age, then don’t bother going live.
• You need a very fast internet connection for you to go live. This is necessary because live streaming requires a very strong network.
• On the device that you are going to use, you must give ‘Camera’ access or permission to Tik Tok.

Steps to Go Live Stream on TikTok

At first, the way to start a live broadcast on TikTok may be confusing. The platform does not necessarily show how you can live.

• First of all, locate your TikTok app and open it to start the process.
• Access your account with your login details.
• When you have logged in, click on the button with the ‘+’ sign. This feature is meant to pre-record videos on TikTok.
• Now, you will find a ‘Live’ button at the bottom. Click on it and you will be set to start your live streaming recording.
• When you are ready, click on go the “Go Live” tab, immediately you will be live to your followers.

Why is Live not available to my account?

You should note that if you fail to see the “ Live” button, you will not be able to use the app for this purpose. You need to be aware that the live streaming features are having an ongoing testing phase.

You should be patient as TikTok is slowly giving access to everyone on their platform.

If you still can’t find the go ‘Live’ button, then kindly be patient and wait.

Tricks to get the “live” button

It is possible to try and push the ‘Live’ button, but it is not known whether you can force it, but it's still worth a go.

• Get the required 1,000 followers, if possible get more than the required number of followers. The simple trick is that you may not need the expected 1000 real followers. You can mix them up with fake followers. After you gain more than 1,000 fans, wait a few days and perhaps the live button will show.
• You may not see it for the other reason because you are in the heart of a TikTok record. The live button vanishes if you already record a TikTok. The live button will reappear when you've finished recording your TikTok or some audio.
• Avoid using prohibited words on TikTok. If you went live before, you may have used some prohibited terms, too, therefore TikTok might have deprived you of your ability to go Live. If you use an outlawed phrase such as "duet," "follow" or "fan" – and many more – TikTok might stop you from ever going 'Live'.TikTok does not seem to have a comprehensive list of prohibited words; although on its own Community rules page, you can discover some general guidelines to follow.
