How to join a TikTok LIVE agency (step by step)

Joining a TikTok LIVE agency means linking your account to a Creator Network, the name TikTok gives to LIVE agencies. According to TikTok, these agencies connect creators with advanced tools, exclusive programmes and growth opportunities. If you're still on the fence, start with what a TikTok LIVE agency is and what it does for creators.

Before any invitation arrives, four things matter.

• An account of your own. In the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, TikTok pays LIVE rewards (the earnings from gifts) into an account in the creator's legal name, and they can't be transferred to anyone else (TikTok's Rewards Policy). So join an agency with your own account, never with a friend's or a relative's.
• Your eligibility, age included. TikTok and the agency check your eligibility, including your age. Go by the conditions shown in the app and what the agency confirms to you, not by a figure you've read somewhere else.
• Your region. An agency doesn't necessarily recruit in your country. Streamline, for example, works with creators from the FR+ zone, Germany and Switzerland.
• Where you stand today. If you're already with an agency, tell us when you apply: we'll explain what to do to join us. TikTok publishes no official procedure and no timelines, so check in your Agency Center what applies to your account.

The process TikTok describes is built around an invitation: an agency approved by TikTok LIVE uses your invitation code to invite you from LIVE Backstage, its restricted workspace, and you read and accept the invitation in your app. In practice:

1. First contact. You talk to the agency (website, Discord, direct message) and ask your questions before committing to anything.
2. You find your invitation code. It's a six-character code generated by TikTok. You'll usually find it in the app under Creator tools > LIVE Center > Join an agency > How to take part? (the path can vary depending on your version of the app), and you pass it on to the agency you've chosen. The full walkthrough is in our guide to the TikTok agency invitation code.
3. The invitation is sent. The agency invites you from LIVE Backstage using your invitation code. Backstage is reserved for agencies approved by TikTok LIVE.
4. You open it in the app. You'll find the invitation in TikTok, usually under Settings and privacy > Creator tools > LIVE Center > Agency Center. The exact path can vary depending on your version of the app.
5. You read it. Check that the invitation really comes from the agency you've been talking to. If you don't recognise it, don't accept it.
6. You accept. Once you accept, your account is linked to the agency, which then tracks your diamonds and LIVE hours in Backstage.

Sharing your invitation code with the agency is part of the process, and the invitation is accepted inside the TikTok app. No step asks for your password, a payment or a click on an external link.

TikTok sets out this process on its page about agency invitations and explains the role of LIVE Backstage for agencies.

The simplest rule of thumb: any request that falls outside the process TikTok describes should set alarm bells ringing. The table below separates the normal from the suspicious.

Two other warning signs should make you slow down. The first is an agency that presents itself as endorsed or sponsored by TikTok: TikTok makes clear that agencies are independent third-party businesses that it neither endorses nor sponsors. The accurate wording is “agency approved by TikTok LIVE” or “agency with access to LIVE Backstage”.

The second is a promise of a specific income figure or guaranteed growth: nobody controls what your viewers will send you. To understand who pays whom, read how much a TikTok LIVE agency takes and how it gets paid.

Before you accept, take the time to ask these questions, ideally in writing, and keep the answers.

• How much do you take from my earnings? The model TikTok describes is an agency paid by TikTok through incentive programmes. If there is a commission, it should be stated clearly, before any invitation.
• Are there any fees, now or later? Sign-up, training, tools: ask for the full list.
• Am I tied in, and how do I leave if it doesn't work out? TikTok doesn't publish exit timelines, so ask the agency to explain its own terms.
• Who will be my point of contact, and when can I reach them? A name, a channel, the hours they're available.
• What will you actually bring to my LIVEs? Formats, tools, feedback: ask to see examples.
• Who is behind the agency? An identifiable company, with a registration number you can check.
• What are your claims based on? An agency calling itself “the best” without citing a source proves nothing. To sort fact from claim, use the verifiable criteria for choosing the best TikTok LIVE agency for you.

A serious agency answers these questions directly. Being vague about money or about leaving is an answer in itself.

Streamline Agency is a TikTok LIVE gaming agency that won awards from TikTok LIVE in 2025 and in 2026. It is operated by STREAMLINE, a SARL (French limited liability company) registered with the Lyon Trade and Companies Register (RCS Lyon 937 823 300), and is led by Gabin and Etienne Colléaux.

Where Streamline recruits

Streamline recruits creators from three regions:

• the FR+ zone: France and French-speaking countries (Belgium, French-speaking Switzerland, Luxembourg, French-speaking Canada, French-speaking Africa…);
• Germany;
• Switzerland.

Outside these three regions, Streamline 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 (monthly bonuses, rankings and rewards linked to LIVE growth), whose payout rates are not public.

The process for creators in the eligible regions (FR+, Germany, Switzerland)

1. Getting their invitation code. Creators retrieve the six-character code in the TikTok app, usually under Creator tools > LIVE Center > Join an agency > How to take part? (the path can vary depending on the version of the app).
2. Sending it to Streamline's Discord bot. The bot, reachable from the Join section of Streamline's website, collects the code and completes the application. Without this code, TikTok cannot link the account to the agency.
3. Choosing an onboarding session. It is mandatory and lasts one hour: Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 7 pm (Paris time).
4. Waiting 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.
5. Accepting the invitation and getting started. Once approved, the creator accepts Streamline's invitation in their Agency Center, then starts with their manager on a game concept chosen from the interactive concepts designed by the agency. No password and no payment are asked for at any stage.

Accepting an invitation won't make a creator's LIVEs take off on its own: what changes is the support around them. At Streamline, the first weeks are spent laying those foundations.

• A concept that carries the LIVE. Creators start on a concept developed by Streamline, where viewers act on the game in real time through gifts and chat: GTA V (Mont Chiliad, Train, La Rampe), Minecraft (TNT VS, One Bloc), Fortnite Interactif, Mario Interactif Tower or Streamline Royale.
• A server ready to go. For Minecraft and FiveM, the agency hosts, maintains and updates the game server.
• Tools in the creator space. Webhooks so the chat can trigger actions in the game, a library of TikTok gifts with their value, OBS overlays (win counters, leaderboards) and tracking of bonuses and goals.
• A dedicated manager, reachable every day. Coaching and feedback on their LIVEs: the concept, the pacing, the interaction with viewers.
• Help with the legal side. Account protection and help with declaring income.
• A community. The agency's Discord and events between creators: a gala dinner in Paris, a cruise, a trip to Los Angeles.

Consistency counts: for mission-based LIVE rewards, TikTok counts a day as a valid LIVE day once it reaches 25 minutes of cumulative LIVE time (TikTok LIVE Rewards explained). To dig deeper into the format, read how to run an interactive gaming LIVE on TikTok.

What Streamline doesn't promise: a level of earnings or guaranteed growth. No agency can honestly promise either.
