How to Go Live on TikTok, and what you need to know

TikTok is a disruptive video sharing Social media App that has taken the world by storm with a more bullish streak picked from the current COVID 19 Pandemic. With TikTok, having fun with Social Media is a daily tale than on any other platform.

Well, some of the amazing TikTok features that are scarce to access, but easily witnessed on the platform include Going live in a fashion similar to Facebook Live, and Instagram Live.

However, for TikTok, Going Live requires you to meet specific requirements to activate the feature of sharing real-time longer videos with your followers. Once your account meets the set requirement, the live feature then becomes active for your Account.

TikTok Live Requirements

  • You must have 1000 Followers or more
