TikTok Live Rules

TikTok implements many strict rules on their platform, some of our products may be detected as violating TikTok rules due to detection errors or other problems. TikTok uses AI technology to detect violations of platform rules. That's the reason why some users are getting warnings. Unlike other platforms, TikTok has come under pressure from countries that oppose China-based companies. That is the reason why TikTok has quite strict rules compared to other platforms.

Main notes about TikTok AI:

– AI scans your live streaming image or video content
– AI detects the words you speak
– AI detects the music you play

The following is a summary of TikTok Live rules and solutions:

Avoid Asking for Gifts

Your main motivation when doing live streaming on TikTok is to get as many gifts as possible, of course you will ask viewers to send you gifts. Stop doing this, TikTok prohibits you from asking viewers to send gifts in writing or verbally. TikTok also prohibits you from displaying the gift icon on your live stream. The solution is, you can use synonyms or censored words to lead viewers to send you gifts.

Avoid Follow-to-follow Activities

Follow-to-follow is an activity that is prohibited by TikTok, so you should avoid this activity. If you tell viewers to follow each other, you may get a warning from TikTok. We recommend that you do not use our applications or games for follow-to-follow activities.

Avoid Words that Trigger Action

Avoid words that trigger action from your viewers, such as: follow me, don't forget to share, tap-tap the screen, please like, send gift, etc. Actually, you are only prohibited from saying this too often, you can only say it occasionally.

Avoid Harsh Words or Graphic Violence

Harsh words or violent displays or graphics are strictly prohibited on the TikTok platform, if you commit this violation then your live access can be revoked. Avoid saying or typing harsh words and graphic violence.

Don't Use Still Images

If you use an image that doesn't move at all, you may get a warning. Please use video or face cam, and make sure your live stream has moving elements.

Use Copyright-free Music

Use copyright-free music, you can get it on YouTube channels that offer free music.

Apart from that, you can follow the following suggestions:

Hide Gift Icon on Game Settings

In some games that display gift icons, there is a feature to hide the gift icon. Use this feature to hide the gift icon.

Add or Enable Face Cam

You can add a face cam to show your face on the live stream. When showing your face, TikTok will detect that you are really a streamer.

Use the Censorship Feature

In some games that display viewer comments, there is a feature to censor harsh words or words that are prohibited by TikTok.

Use the Blur Filter on Avatar Settings

TikTok may give you a warning because it displays the viewer's avatar. You could get into trouble if the displayed avatar contains a prohibited image. Use the blur feature to solve this problem.

Use Video Background

You can replace the background with an image or video, we prefer video because it is more interactive.

Change Color and Image Layout

In some games, features are available to customize the game appearance. You can change the color or change the layout image.

Combine with other Content

You can combine interactive games with other content, for example video games or films. You can stack it with TikTok Live Studio or OBS.

Join the TikTok Agency

By joining an agency affiliated with TikTok, you will get help or be whitelisted when you get a warning. There are many agencies available, make sure you choose a credible agency.

Because TikTok detection uses artificial intelligence or AI, you have to find your own formula until your live stream doesn't get any more warnings. There is no standard formula, each account has its own formula to avoid warnings. You have to try each setup until you find the formula that works.
