From lip-syncing to popular music and famous dialogues, to making funny duets and keeping yourself entertained, in today’s time, TikTok has come a really far way from what it was two years ago.

TikTok is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based internet, and technology company.

The application allows users to create short music and lip-syncing videos from 3 to 15 seconds and short looping of videos from 3 to 60 seconds. Users can choose their music from a variety of genres and react to videos, add filters, speed up or edit videos and a lot of fun to keep themselves refreshed! 

Can everyone go live on TikTok? 

One of the most revered features of this app is the option of going ‘ live’ for their followers. Going live allows you to have an interactive session with your followers.

This is the easiest and most effective way to communicate with your followers. Users can do a question-answer session with an influencer who is live, they can request them to do a few of their iconic steps, ask them to sing, and do anything that keeps them entertained.

The best TikTok live sessions are one of the most interesting conversations between influencers and their followers on a topic per their liking. So, aren’t you thinking of going to go live on TikTok right now?

Before you can go live, you will have to check if your account is allowed or is enabled to do so.

Why is that? Well, if you are wondering why you aren’t able to go live on TikTok, the main reason is that you do not have 1000+ followers. This effectively means that you aren’t an influencer.

Besides, another factor that restricts you to not being able to go live is your age.  You can only go live on TikTok if you are 16 years and older. So, if you’re not able to go live, either of the above can be the reason.
