TikTok has seen a rapid rise to becoming one of the most popular social media apps. Although it’s only been around for a couple of years, the video platform has added many features to allow its creators to build connections with their followers.
One of the additions TikTok has made is its ‘Live’ feature, which allows users to livestream and chat with their viewers in real time.
TikTokers can interact directly with viewers, but in order to do this, they need a certain amount of followers and to meet the age requirement.

How many followers do you need to go live on TikTok?
In order to go live on the social media app, users must be at least 18 years old. TikTok also has limited the accounts that can go live to only users with over 1,000 followers. Unfortunately, there currently is no way to do this without 1000 followers.
This means that if you are a TikTok user under that follower threshold, your access to the going live feature will be restricted until you reach the required follower count.
Users who are 18 and above can also earn gift points in the process, while those younger cannot.
