TikTok LIVE 101: How to Get Started
Go live tonight—with a simple setup, a clear plan, and zero fluff.
Who this is for
Creators, small teams, and businesses who want to try TikTok LIVE the right way—without overthinking gear or settings.
What you’ll learn (curriculum)
- What is TikTok LIVE & why it matters — where LIVE fits in reach, retention, and revenue
- Gear that actually helps — phone, lighting, audio, cheap wins
- Going LIVE from PC/Mac — basic software & gear needed
- Your first LIVE — 15-minute run-of-show, openers, chat prompts, simple CTA
Why this works
We strip it down to what matters: a clear reason to go live, a basic scene, and a short script you can actually follow.
FAQs
- Do I need special gear? No. A phone, decent light, and basic mic are enough; we show upgrades when you’re ready.
- PC/Mac or phone? Both work. We walk through each and give you a quick test flow.
- What about eligibility/rules? We cover the current requirements and safety settings, plus how to avoid common flags.
- Will this cover battles? Not in depth—this class gets you live. (See “Your First Battle” micro class next.)
