TikTok LIVE requirements
Follower count and age are the main gates for going live on TikTok. Here are the LIVE requirements and the most common reasons access is blocked.
Two requirements gate TikTok LIVE for most accounts: a minimum follower count and a minimum age. On top of that, your account needs to be in good standing, and some features within LIVE have their own extra bars. If LIVE is not available to you, it is far more likely an eligibility gate than a bug or a hidden setting.
Before you start
What an account generally needs to go live:
A minimum follower count
TikTok sets a follower threshold for LIVE access. The exact number can change, so treat the in-app eligibility check as the source of truth.
A minimum age
There is an age requirement to host a LIVE.
An account in good standing
Restrictions or recent violations can block LIVE even if you meet the follower and age bars.
