Zero viewers on your TikTok LIVE? Keep talking

Short answer

Keep talking. The number at the top of your LIVE isn't the real one, because people pass by from outside and don't show in the count. If you don't talk, you'll stay at zero.

Steps

1. Check your impressions after your LIVE.
2. Keep talking even when your LIVE shows zero viewers.
3. Speak to the people passing by, like "Hey, whoever's passing by, come say hi."

Key points

• Your impressions can be a much bigger number than the one at the top of your LIVE.
• People pass by your LIVE from outside, see you, then decide whether to come in.
• You can't see those people, and they don't show in the count.
