Why does LIVE get banned on TikTok:

The TikTok LIVE feature allows users and creators to interact in real time on the app. It is a very interesting feature, which is liked by almost all its users. However, this feature is only available to users who are 16 and above years old. 

That means, only the users who are 16 years old, will get the option to go “LIVE” on their TikTok account. You might be thinking, that the age limit to create a TikTok account is 13 years, then how come the LIVE feature is not for them? Yes, it is absolutely correct, the age limit to use TikTok is 13 years, but he/she cannot go LIVE on TikTok unless he/she is 16 years old. Thus, the option to go ‘LIVE’ is banned on your TikTok account. 

How To Get Unbanned From TikTok Live:

There are a few methods that you can use to request unban of your TikTok Live if you think you are correct and have not violated any rules:

1. Email TikTok Legal Support

The age limit to create a TikTok account is 13 years, but to have a ‘LIVE’ feature the user has to be 16+ years old. 

If you fulfill all the criteria to use the ‘LIVE’ feature, but still there is a ban on it, then you should go straight to TikTok Legal Support. You have to write an email ([email protected]) to them, explaining all the issues that you are facing in using the LIVE feature. Describe what notification or pop-up messages you are getting while accessing the LIVE feature option. 

Also, take a snapshot of the notification and add it in the mail for more clear understanding. Along with all this, add your age proof document to stating them that you are eligible for using the LIVE feature on your account. 

Describe the issue, add the snapshots & documents and send it to the TikTok Legal Support Team: [email protected] Wait for a day or two and you will get a response from the team. Follow the instructions and the LIVE option will be unbanned.
