For the uninitiated, Tik Tok/Musical.ly is a video social networking app for video creation, messaging, and live broadcasting with fans or followers.

How To Go Live On Tik Tok New Musical.ly Update

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:

  1. Go to the Tik Tok – including Musical.ly app.
  2. Click on the add button from the bottom of the screen.
  3. After your video screen has been opened click on “Live” which will be aside to your recording button.
  4. Then simply add a title which will let the other users know what this live stream is about.
  5. 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.

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.
