TikTok LIVE agency code: where to find your invitation code and accept an agency's invitation

When people talk about a “TikTok agency code”, they mean the invitation code: a six-character code generated by TikTok for your account. In the process TikTok describes, the agency doesn't give you a code: you give it yours, and it uses that code to send you an invitation. If you're still wondering what an agency is for, start with what a TikTok LIVE agency is and how it works.

The word “code” causes a lot of confusion, and some of it can cost you dearly. The table below sorts it out.

TikTok also says agencies can use referral programmes to invite creators. In the invitation process it describes, though, it's your code that lets the agency invite you.

Your invitation code is yours to share; your password and your verification codes never are.

Your invitation code is in the TikTok app, in the LIVE area for creators. Here's the usual path:

1. Update the app, so you have the latest screens.
2. Open Creator tools (in Settings and privacy), then LIVE Center.
3. Tap Join an agency, then How to take part?
4. Your six-character code appears: copy it exactly as shown and send it in writing to the agency, through its official channel.

The path can vary depending on your version of the app. TikTok's official page on agency invitations goes through the Agency Center: Settings and privacy > Creator tools > LIVE Center > Agency Center. It also has a button that opens the Agency Center in TikTok so you can get your code. To tell the two screens apart:

Both are inside the LIVE Center, so that's where to start.

On some versions, creators say they reach these screens from TikTok Studio, and other guides online mention a “Creator Network Center”: these are variants, not the path given on TikTok's official page. If you can't find anything there, go back to the LIVE Center.

The process TikTok describes comes down to three steps, and two of them are yours.

1. You: you pass on your code. You get your invitation code and give it to the agency. Our advice: give it to one agency only, the one you've chosen after asking your questions.
2. The agency: it sends the invitation from LIVE Backstage. An agent uses your code to invite you. Backstage is open only to agencies registered with TikTok LIVE and their authorised team members: according to TikTok, creators can't access it on their own. So you can't invite yourself with your code.
3. You: you read, check and accept. The invitation usually arrives under Settings and privacy > Creator tools > LIVE Center > Agency Center. Before accepting, check that the name shown is the agency you've been talking to. If you don't recognise it, don't accept.

This is the process set out on TikTok's page about agency invitations: “An agent will use your invitation code to initiate an invitation”.

Once you accept, your account is linked to the agency, which tracks your LIVE performance in Backstage. Choosing the agency comes before that: comparing, asking questions, applying. It's all covered in our guide to joining a TikTok LIVE agency step by step.

Your invitation code is all an agency needs to invite you. Anything else you're asked for should set alarm bells ringing.

Other pitfalls (a share of your diamonds, earnings paid into someone else's account, gifts bought outside TikTok) are listed in the red flags to watch for when joining an agency.

Be wary, too, of an agency that presents itself as appointed, sponsored or endorsed by TikTok. TikTok states that agencies are independent third-party businesses that it neither endorses nor sponsors, and that it takes no responsibility for their business activities or conduct. The accurate wording is “agency approved by TikTok LIVE” or “agency with access to LIVE Backstage”.

On the money side, TikTok says agencies have access to incentive programmes that earn them monthly bonuses. If an agency mentions fees or a share of your earnings, that's not the model TikTok describes: ask in writing what justifies it, before any invitation. To find out what to check, read how much a TikTok LIVE agency takes and who pays what.

First, a caveat: TikTok doesn't publish the conditions under which the Agency Center appears. The thresholds that get passed around for “unlocking” the agency screen don't come from an official page.

Sources: TikTok's FAQ on the requirements for going LIVE and TikTok's page on agency invitations.

If the screen doesn't appear, try these in order:

1. Update the app, then close it and open it again.
2. Check the age declared on your account: age is one of the requirements for going LIVE, and your account should show your real date of birth.
3. Check you're using your own account, the one you go LIVE on.
4. Ask the agency: it knows these screens and can tell you what to look for. That doesn't mean it needs your login details to “check” for you.

The LIVE requirements themselves (age, followers, age verification, restrictions) are covered in our guide to TikTok LIVE requirements.

Yes, you can talk to a new agency and pass on your code, but you won't be able to join it while your account is linked to your current agency: you have to leave first.

TikTok publishes no official procedure and no timelines: check in your Agency Center what applies to your account. If it's Streamline you want to join, tell us when you apply and we'll explain what to do.

In practice, for your code:

• you can already talk to the new agency, ask your questions and pass on your code;
• wait until your Agency Center lets you accept a new invitation: that's when the new agency invites you from LIVE Backstage;
• TikTok doesn't publish how long a code stays valid: get it again when the invitation is about to be sent, rather than sending a code you noted down weeks earlier.

Streamline Agency is a TikTok LIVE gaming agency that won awards from TikTok LIVE in 2025 and in 2026. It recruits creators from the FR+ zone (France and French-speaking countries), Germany and Switzerland; outside these regions, it does not recruit. Membership is free, with no commitment, and commission is 0%: creators keep 100% of their earnings. Streamline is paid by TikTok, through the incentive programmes reserved for agencies.

For creators in these eligible regions, here's what happens to their code at Streamline:

1. The code goes to Streamline's Discord bot: creators send it from the Join section of Streamline's website, and the bot completes their application.
2. They choose an onboarding session, which is mandatory and lasts one hour: Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 7 pm (Paris time).
3. The code waits for the staff's review. A member of staff reviews the application and gets back to the creator: applications are processed within 48 hours, and only approval by the staff counts.
4. Once the application is approved, Streamline uses the code to invite the creator from LIVE Backstage.
5. The creator accepts the invitation in their Agency Center, after checking that it really comes from Streamline.

At no stage does Streamline ask for a password, a code sent by text or a payment.
