Your first LIVE. A clear starting point.

Prepare your room, your opening and a simple plan so you can focus on the conversation.

Check your account and space

You need to be 18 or older to go LIVE on TikTok. Check the LIVE options in your account, charge your phone, test your connection and silence notifications. Keep personal details out of the frame.

Rehearse your opening

Prepare a short introduction, one topic you enjoy and three questions for viewers. Practise how you will welcome people and continue when the room is quiet.

Record a short test

Record yourself with the light and microphone you will use. Listen with headphones and check the picture on a phone. Fix the most distracting issue first.

Practical tips, not a promise of views or income. Account features and phone settings vary.
