TikTok Mobile Streaming Tips

📋 Eligibility Requirements

To unlock TikTok LIVE on mobile:

• Be 18+ years old
• Have 1,000+ followers
• Use a public account
• Follow TikTok Community Guidelines

If eligible, the "LIVE" option will appear when you tap the + icon in the app.

📶 Strong Connection is a Must

• Use Wi-Fi or strong 5G/LTE
• Upload speed: 5 Mbps minimum
• Always run a speed test https://www.speedtest.net/
• Enable Airplane Mode + Wi-Fi to block incoming calls/notifications

📌 Weak internet = laggy video, audio drops, and viewers leaving.

1. 🔋 Power & Battery

• Mobile streaming drains battery fast
• Use a portable charger or plug in during streams
• Lower your screen brightness

2. 🎙️ Audio Quality Matters Most

• Use a wired lavalier mic or wireless mic if available
• Avoid loud/windy places
• Make sure when using your phone built-in mic to keep it close to your mouth

🎧 Clear audio = longer watch times. Never rely on just your phone mic outside.

3. 📷 Camera Framing

• Clean your lens before going LIVE
• Center yourself in frame, eye-level
• Use a tripod or phone mount for stability
• Enable beauty filters sparingly (avoid over-smoothing)

4. 📍 Background & Lighting

• Use natural light or a ring light
• Declutter your background
• Add some personal branding (poster, gear, stickers, etc.)

5. 💬 Engage with Chat

• Read usernames, respond in real time
• Pin a message like: "🔥 Check out my Twitch: @YourName – Live now!"
• Use callouts: "Double tap the screen if you can hear me!"
• Encourage emoji reactions, questions, or poll responses
