Live Creator Network
How to join our TikTok LIVE Creator Network
Free to join. TikTok handles the official invite. We never take a cut of your gifts or diamonds, and nobody should ever charge you a join fee.
Do this on your phone for the best result.
Apply on TikTok
Do this on your phone. The website cannot finish the join for you.
- Tap Apply On (TikTok) above (or open the scout link on your phone).
- If a browser opens, tap Open in TikTok.
- Log in to the account you stream on.
- Read the network page and tap Apply.
Wait for review
We review your application in LIVE Backstage. If it is a fit, TikTok sends the official invitation. This usually takes 24–48 hours, sometimes up to a few days.
Watch Inbox → System notifications. The message looks like: “You’re invited to join a Creator Network.”
Open the invite in System notifications
- Open the TikTok app.
- Tap Inbox.
- Tap System notifications (not a regular DM).
- Tap the invite: You’re invited to join a Creator Network.
Or find it in TikTok Studio
If you missed the inbox item, use this path.
- Go to your Profile.
- Tap the ☰ or ⋮ menu (top right).
- Tap TikTok Studio.
- Open the LIVE tab.
- Tap Tools and Resources, then Join Creator Network.
- Tap New Invitation → View.
Accept the Network Invitation
- Confirm the network name is Network / our official name.
- Read the terms.
- Tap View invitation, then Accept.
- Confirm your age if TikTok asks.
Complete the LIVE trial
Newer LIVE accounts sometimes need a short trial before Accept unlocks.
- Tap the LIVE trial link in System notifications before you go LIVE.
- Go LIVE for about 10 minutes within 7 days.
- Return to Join Creator Network and tap Accept.
Message us your username
When Join Creator Network shows you as a member, send us your TikTok username so we can add you to training, community, and stream-key help if you use LIVE Studio.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Apply link won’t open | Copy the link into your phone browser, then tap Open in TikTok. |
| No invitation showing | Finish Step 1 first. Check System notifications. Complete the LIVE trial if asked. |
| Already in another network | Leave that network and wait out TikTok’s cooldown. |
| Someone asks you to pay | Do not pay. Official networks do not charge a join fee. |
Screens are tutorial mockups to show where to tap. Labels in the TikTok app can vary slightly by region and app version.
