Musical.ly now known as Tik Tok is a social media platform which has taken the world on a storm. Launched in 2014, it has crossed the milestone of reaching over 200 million registered users worldwide. And is still keep on growing each and every day.
For the uninitiated, Tik Tok/Musical.ly is a video social networking app for video creation, messaging, and live broadcasting with fans or followers. It has earned tremendous popularity among young grassroots content writers. Because this app not only let them do lip syncing on music videos but also gives freedom to create their own content. Be it dancing, acting, drama, comedy or any other genre it as all welcomed on the platform.

Earlier this year of 2018, the popular app was rebranded as Tik Tok and it has brought some significant changes. There are a number of added features and effects which were not there before. Also, the interface of the platform has drastically changed and turned it into something totally new and stunning.
But with all these changes seen this year, one drastic change has also occurred in the user’s life. As Musical.ly before getting transformed scraped its standalone streaming app Live.ly in 2018. Launched in July 2016, during VidCon, Live.ly was an app which helped users to go live on the platform to communicate with their fans worldwide.
But there is nothing to worry because the company just merged Live.ly’s standalone application into the mainline Tik Tok/Musical.ly application. According to TechCrunch, “The majority of live-stream viewership was already taking place on Musical.ly’s main app. So it made sense for the company. To consolidate the live video alongside the other short, lip sync videos Musical.ly is known for.” Because of which the app is removed from Google Play and App Store.

How To Go Live On Tik Tok:
- Go to the Tik Tok – including Musical.ly app.
- Click on the add button from the bottom of the screen.
- After your video screen has been opened click on “Live” which will be aside to your recording button.
- Then simply add a title which will let the other users know what this live stream is about.
- Click on “Go Live’ and your streaming will get started.
Note: You cannot add banned words in your title such as duet, follow, fan, bff, drama queen, donation, etc. Try to go for some alternate words instead.
Note: Even after following the above steps if you are still unable to find the “Live” option then you need 1k fans to go live.

Do I have to have any specific number of fans? Because it doesn’t work for me.
My TikTok is @jakeaarons
I really don’t think to go live on Tik Tok you need to have a specific number of fans. Try updating the app or if you are using any banned words in the title then change it with some alternate words.
I have 1.5k fans and do not have the live button
Reason ?
Me too i have 1.7k and i cant go live
Same I have 23.9k and I still don’t have the option. I’m doing it the exact way this lady is explaining how to do it and even my friend can go live so I know how, but I don’t have the option.
Yes
I have 1k

really sorry we have massaged the tiktok team
I am not able to live on tik tok
Me to
really sorry we have massaged the tiktok team for the same
I have 1.9k followers but i have not go live
Why?
I did just as the instructions says and there was no button to go live all there is is special effects I am VERY frustrated and not happy and I do have Tic toc including music.ly so I don’t understand at all why there is no button.
You might have been going on some audio to record because only in that case the “LIVE” option won’t be there. Don’t go on any song just click on the add button from the bottom and you will see beside your “Video” button, there will be the option of “Live”.
I have 320 fans and I’m able to go live I have 4000+ likes and almost 27.4k views but I can’t link my account to my paypal or bank help please I’m getting gifts but I can’t actually get them
Even I don’t have that option
Hey I have 23.4k fans but I do not have the option either. I’m doing exactly what the instructions tell me to do but I still do not have the option. My @ is bellaa.cooperr !! Can someone please help me fix this I wanna interact with my supporters.
Reason ??
Where?
Agree
Same I can not do a live but I have 123 followers and then 47 fans
U have to wait until u hit 1000 like meh
You have to have 1k fans/followers
really sorry we have massaged the tiktok team for the same
I am 13 years old and I am at 1k fans but it won’t let me go live my Tik Tok is @AJ_is_funny_
I can’t find the button to go live
really sorry we have massaged the tiktok team for the same
It wasn’t showing up. Do u need a specific amount of followers
You need 1k fans I think
I wonder if that is the reason because in here (India) you can go live even with 300 fans or less. So, might there will be some country wise restriction on the number of followers you require or some app glitch. As the above method are the only steps you can now go live on tik tok with.
I have 10K fans and i already got notified my Tiktok that i can go live , even after i couldn’t find any option to go live.
how do u all have so much??

Thank you for reading 🙂
I can’t and I have 28 followers
You need 1k fans then it is mentioned in the post.
I have more than 9k but still i cant go live cuz there is no option for live since 4 months.
Ok?
It won’t let me put a birthday or username and password when you are able to if u have any idea for a username and password please
I did what you said n there is no live option on the side of video….n I didn’t have it under any song! This is getting aggravating seriously….first it said I had to have a photo for live photo…I have two to choose from n it’s still not letting me so IDK…I give up on this
Some people say you don’t need 1k fans to go live i can’t go live on tiktok why I can’t go live
In India, you actually don’t need 1k fans to go live, but I guess at other countries 1k fans are compulsory. That’s why I have put a note in my article regarding this factor.
Where does your live go after you finish it?? Does it just disappear??? I just did a live and I can’t find it
Yes, it disappears, once you end your live.
Tiktok fan
yes
Hey I have got 465 fans at Tiktok but also the live option. Is not showing y so

I do not have the go live button on my Galaxy Note 4 Android phone. I tried all the fixes and settings and it is not there. I understand that the Go Live feature will not work on some Samsung products for whatever reason which is sad. I can use it on Instagram and everything else. they really need to fix this issue. I emailed them about it but I guess they are too busy to respond or they don’t care.
