How to Go Live on Tik Tok/Musical.ly in 2019
Musical.ly was one of the word’s biggest social apps that allows users to create and share 15-second to 1-minute lip-syncing videos. User can choose sound tracks, use different speed options, add preset filters and effects, etc. Through this app, users can also browse popular contents, trending songs, sounds and hashtags, and interact with their fans. The app was launched in 2014 and reached over 200 million active users by the end of 2017. It has earned great popularity among young content writers and its users are still keep on growing every day.
However, in November of 2017, Musical.ly had been sold to Bytedance for as much as US $1 billion. And in August of 2018, Bytedance consolidated the user accounts of Musical.ly and TikTok, merging the two apps into one and keeping the title TikTok. TikTok has combined functionality of both apps and brought some significant changes. Now you can expect a number of added features and effects which were not there before. Plus, the interface of the app has also drastically changed and turned into something totally new and sunning.

A Few Things to Note:

In Conclusion
TikTok seems to be more restrictive than Live.ly or Musial.ly were but Musers can still find many ways to past its limitations in order to make money or garner attention. At the moment, it seems easier to track and watch Live Streams than creating them, but hopefully TikTok sees the value in lifting these restrictions and allowing more of their user base the privileges. Hope this article has helped you go live or at least pointed you in the right direction.
