To go live on TikTok, follow these steps:

1. Open the TikTok app and tap the plus (+) icon at the bottom center of the screen to open the camera.
2. Swipe right on the recording options below the red record button until you find the "LIVE" option, then tap it.
3. Add a short, engaging title for your live stream (up to about 30 characters).
4. Choose a cover photo (either your profile photo or another image), select a topic, and apply any filters or effects you want.
5. Tap the "Go LIVE" button to start your live stream. You will see a 3-second countdown before the live video begins.
6. While live, you can interact with viewers by responding to comments and using TikTok's live features like gifts and moderation tools.
7. When finished, tap "End LIVE" to stop streaming

Requirements:

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You need at least 1,000 followers to access the live feature (this may vary by region).
• Your account must comply with TikTok's Community Guidelines.

If you have fewer than 1,000 followers, there is a workaround by reporting a problem in the app and selecting "I can’t start a LIVE," then indicating the problem was not resolved. This may unlock the feature for you

. Additional options:

• You can also go live from a PC using TikTok Live Studio or streaming software by obtaining a stream key and server URL from TikTok and configuring your encoding software accordingly

This process allows you to engage with your audience in real-time, helping grow your followers and increase interaction on your TikTok profile.
