TikTok LIVE agency guides: what to know before choosing your agency
A TikTok LIVE agency (what TikTok calls a “Creator Network”) is an independent third-party company, paid by TikTok through incentive programmes. No official ranking names the best TikTok LIVE agency, so judge agencies on what you can verify. A genuine invitation is sent from LIVE Backstage using your own invitation code and reaches you in the app, with no password, payment or external link involved. Joining fees or a cut of your diamonds are not part of the model TikTok describes. Streamline Agency's guides cover choosing an agency, commission, joining, switching agencies, TikTok LIVE awards and interactive LIVE gaming, backed by official sources.
All guides
- Guide · Choosing an agency What is the best TikTok LIVE agency in France and Europe? There is no official ranking of the best TikTok LIVE agency, in France or elsewhere in Europe: TikTok doesn't publish one, and states that its 2026 list of winners for diversified content innovation is alphabetical, not a ranking. The right agency is the one that proves what it claims and suits your content. Check six things: an invitation from LIVE Backstage, named and sourced awards, no fees or commission, specialisation in your category, hands-on support and the freedom to leave. In LIVE gaming, Streamline Agency won awards from TikTok LIVE in 2025 and in 2026, with sources to back them up. Read the guide
- Guide · TikTok LIVE agencies What is a TikTok LIVE agency? Definition, role and how it works A TikTok LIVE agency, which TikTok calls a “Creator Network”, is an independent company approved by TikTok LIVE that supports creators with their LIVEs: tracking their stats, coaching, tools and access to exclusive programmes. It gets access to LIVE Backstage once its application has been reviewed, invites creators from there, and is paid by TikTok through bonuses and rewards tied to LIVE growth. Your LIVE rewards, on the other hand, are paid by TikTok into an account in your legal name and cannot be transferred to anyone else (Rewards Policy for the EEA, Switzerland and the UK).

- Guide · Commission and fees How much does a TikTok LIVE agency take? Commission, fees and who pays whom In the model TikTok describes, it is TikTok that pays a TikTok LIVE agency (a “Creator Network”), through incentive programmes reserved for agencies: taking a cut of your earnings is not part of it. In the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, TikTok pays your LIVE rewards into an account in your legal name, and they cannot be transferred. An agency can still write fees or a commission into its contract, so read yours before you sign. At Streamline, membership is free, there is no commitment and commission is 0%. Read the guide
- Guide · Earnings and payouts How much does TikTok LIVE pay? Diamonds, LIVE rewards and withdrawals explained No official source tells you how much a TikTok LIVE pays: TikTok publishes no conversion rate for a Diamond in dollars or euros, and no value for 1,000 Diamonds. It does publish what goes into the calculation. In the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland and the UK, your LIVE reward is based on your Diamonds collected and on a rewards percentage of up to 53% (up to 40% per LIVE and 13% per week) if your account has Scaled LIVE Rewards. It's calculated in USD and paid into an account in your name; in France, withdrawals start at 1 USD via PayPal (as of 7 October 2026). Your estimate shows under Profile > Menu > Balance > LIVE rewards. Read the guide
- Guide · Joining an agency How to join a TikTok LIVE agency (step by step) To join a TikTok LIVE agency, you accept its invitation in the TikTok app. You give the agency your invitation code, a six-character code generated by TikTok, and an agency approved by TikTok LIVE uses it to invite you from LIVE Backstage, a tool reserved for approved agencies. You then read and accept the invitation, usually under Settings and privacy > Creator tools > LIVE Center > Agency Center. Before accepting, check that the agency recruits in your country, what it takes from your earnings and how you can leave. A request for your password, a payment or an external link is not part of this process. Read the guide
- Guide · Invitation code TikTok LIVE agency code: where to find your invitation code and accept an agency's invitation The “TikTok agency code” is your invitation code: a six-character code generated by TikTok for your account. You'll usually find it under Creator tools > LIVE Center > Join an agency > How to take part? (the path can vary depending on your version of the app). You give it to the agency you've chosen, which invites you from LIVE Backstage. You then accept the invitation in your Agency Center, after checking the agency's name. This process never involves a password, a code sent by text or a payment. Read the guide
- Guide · TikTok LIVE awards TikTok LIVE Awards for agencies: what they are and how to verify them (2026) “TikTok LIVE Awards” refers to the awards TikTok LIVE presents to agencies, which it calls Creator Networks. In 2026, they were presented at the TikTok LIVE Creator Networks Global Summit in Bangkok on 15 and 16 September, and the lists of winners were published on TikTok's official website. They are not the same as the TikTok Awards (brands) or LIVE Fest (creators). To verify an award, ask for its exact name, its edition and a link to tiktok.com, then find the agency's name on the list of winners, bearing in mind that its alphabetical order is not a ranking.

- Guide · LIVE gaming Interactive LIVE gaming on TikTok: let your viewers play in real time Interactive LIVE gaming on TikTok is a gaming LIVE stream in which your viewers take part in the game in real time: a gift or a comment triggers an in-game event, such as an obstacle, a wave of enemies or a change in the weather. You need a PC, streaming software such as OBS, a tool that links TikTok gifts to your game, overlays and, depending on the game, a server. TikTok prohibits buying, selling or trading gifts outside the platform, so stick to one simple rule: a gift triggers an action in the game, never something in return outside TikTok. Read the guide
- Guide · LIVE requirements TikTok LIVE requirements: age, followers, age verification and why you can't go LIVE The requirements for going LIVE on TikTok, as of 7 October 2026: you must be at least 18 and have 1,000 followers, a threshold that can vary by region. TikTok may also ask you to confirm your age when you start a LIVE, using ID, a selfie, a credit card or facial age estimation: if it can't confirm your age, you can't go LIVE. LIVE and Gifts aren't available in every country, and receiving Gifts also requires you to be 18. TikTok doesn't publish each country's threshold, or the exact reasons the LIVE button might be missing. Read the guide
- Guide · LIVE on PC TikTok LIVE Studio and OBS: how to go LIVE on TikTok from PC for gaming To go LIVE on TikTok from a PC, TikTok describes three options: TikTok LIVE Studio, its own software for Windows and macOS; third-party software such as OBS, using the server URL and stream key provided by TikTok; and TikTok on the web. Their availability may vary by account and region. You must be 18 and have 1,000 followers to go LIVE, a threshold that can vary by region, and LIVE Studio requires its own LIVE access. As of 7 October 2026, TikTok's help pages don't say where to get the stream key, who is entitled to one or how long it stays valid. Read the guide
