Explain what the LIVE is about and the behaviour you expect.

Share the story. Keep the private details private.
LIVE is real time and cannot be edited like a short video. A quick privacy check protects the creator, guests, moderators and viewers before the first comment arrives.
Scan the frame
- Remove mail, documents, screens, reflections and visible addresses from the background.
- Turn off private notifications and avoid showing account, payment or contact details.
- Do not share an exact location while you are still there.
- Ask guests for consent before bringing them into a LIVE or discussing their private information.
Choose the audience and boundaries
Use the current audience-control and comment settings that fit the topic. State the room boundary in plain language so viewers know what kind of participation is welcome.
Audience controls
Use TikTok's controls when the topic is not suitable for every audience.
Pause plan
Know who can help, how to end the session and where an urgent concern should be reported.
Protect wellbeing after the stream
A good review asks what the room needed, not only how many viewers arrived. Save only necessary evidence, take breaks and seek the appropriate platform or local service when a concern is urgent.
