Step 2:

Hit the plus button at the bottom of your phone screen like you would typically make a video on TikTok.

Step 3:

Swipe left at the bottom until you find the option that says “Live”.

There you go! You can also add a title, filters and more if you like. When you’re ready, go live and enjoy chatting with your followers live from your phone! As always, make sure to follow the community guidelines and enjoy the experience!

Remember, if you don’t see the option to go live from your screen, it’s likely because your account is not compatible with the requirements necessary to access the live feature. To get ideas and inspiration be sure to follow what the 25 most followed on TikTok are doing with their channels!
