Why Your TikTok Profile Must Be Public for Live Streaming

Interactive TikTok LIVE games and tools such as TikTool read the gifts, comments, likes and follows of your live. That data is only available when your TikTok profile is public.

Why a public profile is required

With a private account, your live events are not available to the apps that react to them. Games will not move when viewers send gifts and alerts will not fire. Switching to public fixes this right away.

TikTok LIVE requirements

  • You must be 18 or older to go LIVE and receive gifts
  • You usually need at least 1,000 followers to get LIVE access
  • Your account must be public for games and tools to see live events
