How to join a live on TikTok

One of the great things about TikTok Live is being able to broadcast together with other users. Not only do joint broadcasts offer more content possibilities than just solo broadcasts, but they also provide an opportunity for users to work together, harnessing the power of the TikTok community and increasing the reach of Live broadcasts.

TikTok Live was launched in 2019, giving users of the platform a new format to play with outside of pre-recorded videos. The longer form style lends itself to showcasing talents and engaging with viewers. It's also a smart way to grow audiences and to raise money for good causes.

To go Live on TikTok, users must have over 1,000 followers and be 16 or older. If that's the case, they can simply open the app, tap the create button, and then swipe to the Live option at the bottom. After choosing an image to represent the broadcast and entering a title for it, users can tap 'Go Live' to begin broadcasting. Once streaming, users can invite others to join them via the icon that looks like blue and red interlocked circles in the bottom left corner of the screen.
