Why TikTok LIVE Isn’t Showing – LIVE Not Listed or Visible
Your LIVE is definitely running. The timer is ticking. Chat works. But new people can’t seem to find it. It doesn’t show up on the LIVE tab or on FYP. Here’s how to work through the most common causes.
Guide explaining why TikTok LIVE may not appear in the LIVE tab or on FYP, with checks for eligibility, region issues, and account limitations.
Step 1 – Confirm basic eligibility
TikTok’s LIVE requirements change, but if you’ve lost access or dipped below thresholds, your visibility may be limited.
- Confirm you still see the LIVE option in the app’s creation tools.
- Check the account-level notifications for any LIVE-related warning or restriction.
Step 2 – Check for account or region limitations
Some accounts and regions get more conservative distribution, especially after violations, high-report content, or fast growth spikes.
- A long history of borderline content can quietly reduce LIVE discovery.
- Using the same network or device as other flagged accounts can hurt you.
