Are you someone who enjoys online and mobile gaming, and wants to build a TikTok account that’s dedicated to online gameplay?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
Whether you already have an established TikTok account or want to start afresh with a new profile and audience, this article is dedicated to sharing your mobile gaming during a TikTok Live.
Before we dive into the process of sharing mobile gaming to a Live stream though, let’s look at why you might choose to do so…
Why Live Stream Your Mobile Gaming?
The reasons why users choose to live stream their gaming vary. Most either want to build an account and reputation that’s dedicated to gaming hacks and the expert navigation of different games and levels, or they want to connect with other likeminded gamers and build a community.
Either way, the benefits of live streaming specifically revolve around the ability to actively engage rather than simply post and wait for a response.
During a mobile gaming live stream, creators can give commentary during their gameplay and respond to comments and questions, sharing invaluable insight with gaming lovers from all over the world.
Requirements and Eligibility for Mobile Gaming Live Streaming
As a creator, there are conditions that you need to meet in order to be able to host a TikTok Live. You must be over the age of 18 and have at least 1,000 followers.
However, when it comes to mobile gaming and screen sharing during a Live session, there are even more requirements that you need to meet.
Creators who want to Live stream a mobile gaming video or screen will need to have at least 18,000 subscribers and will need to be an active Live stream TikTokker in advance of trying to stream a mobile game.
What’s more, if you hope to stream your mobile gaming sessions, there’s another obstacle you need to overcome – or rather, another seal of approval that you need to earn. TikTok as a platform limits the number of online gaming Lives by inviting specific users to share their screen during a Live stream session. Until you receive access directly from TikTok, you will not be able to share your mobile gaming screen live on camera.
To attract the approval of TikTok, you need to produce great content and stay engaged with viewers.
6 Steps to Live Stream Mobile Gaming on TikTok
- Following the steps to start a standard Live stream on TikTok by selecting the large Plus sign in the bottom centre of the screen
- In the Live stream set up, select the ‘Mobile Gaming’ option (available only if you meet the eligibility criteria)

- Select the game that you want to stream

And voila! We hope this helps to turn your love of gaming into an engaging content format for your followers and fans!
