TikTok is among the most popular social networks. It is popular because of the content available on the platform and those who create content for it. Despite that, a large number of users do not know how to go live on TikTok.
Initially, TikTok only supported videos of 3-to-15 seconds duration. But, now, it allows you to broadcast your videos live, and interact with your audience and followers in real-time.
Unlike other social networks and live broadcasting platforms, TikTok enables you to show your live videos even to those who do not follow your account. You just need to choose it from your live broadcast options.
