It allows businesses, <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/social-media-influencer\/\">influencers<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/content-creator\/\">content creators<\/a> to entertain, educate, and interact with their audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows you to offer diverse content beyond pre-recorded videos. You can host Q&amp;A sessions, behind-the-scenes footage, tutorials, and more in real-time. This variety can attract new viewers, gain more followers, and keep your existing audience engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when you go live on TikTok, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-to-make-money-streaming\/\">earn money streaming<\/a>, by getting virtual gifts from your viewers. Just like Facebook Stars, YouTube Super Stickers, or Twitch donations, you can turn these gifts into cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting, right? But, you can&#8217;t start right away as you need to meet the eligibility requirements to host live sessions on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Requirements_to_Go_Live_on_TikTok\"><\/span>What Are The Requirements to Go Live on TikTok?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the requirements to go live on TikTok:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Age<\/strong> \u2014 You must be <a href=\"https:\/\/support.tiktok.com\/en\/safety-hc\/account-and-user-safety\/minimum-age-appeals-on-tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at least 16 years old<\/a> to host a live stream and 18 years old to send or receive gifts during a live stream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Followers<\/strong> \u2014 You need to have a minimum of 1,000 followers on your TikTok account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Account behavior<\/strong> \u2014 Your account must adhere to the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
