TikTok is one of the most famous social networks today. Formerly known as Musical.ly, this social network consists in that any user can publish a video doing literally what one wants. Recently it only allowed to make short videos, but recently it was updated and now you can record videos of up to three minutes. However, this is not the only thing that TikTok has added, as it has added many more new features.
In this social network you can create both challenges and videos that go viral and are imitated by millions of people around the world. In addition, it also allows you to create live shows for an audience. Most of the new features have to do with TikTok’s live broadcasts.
You will plan your live shows better than ever
The new functions have been created to compete with other social networks such as Instagram, which also has this feature. These new functions consist of doing a live with another person (from two different places and on two different devices), making a section of questions and answers for the audience or even having moderators to expel those who deserve it from the live show. for their behavior, among other things.
For the spectators, a new function has also been added that makes it easier to see the live shows.
Some people have already had access to a new feature that makes direct planning better than ever. It is a kind of calendar in which it is programmed that at a specific day and time there will be a live broadcast and then notify the followers.
Live programming is quite common on other streaming platforms, so it is normal that TikTok has opted for this option.
To schedule a live show, all you have to do is choose the live events option in the upper right corner of the tab of our TikTok profile and once there, give the live a name, decide what time the broadcast will start and make a small description explaining what the live will consist of.
When all this process is finished, the live event will be under review before being made public for everyone within the application. If desired, said direct can be eliminated.
When the live event is already scheduled, the user will be able to broadcast it through the application, being able to even count down or share it outside of TikTok. In addition, users will be informed of how many people have registered to watch the live.
Moderators, questions and answers …
The function of doing a combined live with more than one person is used to help the direct ones reach a greater number of audiences.
As for the question and answer feature , viewers can ask the host anything and the host can answer it so that all viewers can see the answer.
On the moderators , they will be able to perform functions such as silencing or expelling users who are insulting, annoying or spamming the live show. Each user will be able to choose the moderators they want, so it will be preferable that they choose their trusted people.
A keyword filter has also been added to block words that users do not want to see in the comments.
A system will also be added that will notify users who are about to publish some type of offensive content. A new option will even be added in both iOS and Android to be able to use the phone simultaneously while watching the live.
