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.

Frequently asked questions

TikTok sets and occasionally adjusts the threshold, so rather than quoting a fixed number, check the LIVE eligibility status in the app, which reflects the current bar.

Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly

Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.

Delvia is free on iPhone and Android. Keep a clear record of who has access to your accounts — and what to do when that changes — wherever you are.
