Can using Livecade or TikPlay get my TikTok LIVE restricted?
The same rules apply to both. Each reads your public LIVE by username, and neither is affiliated with TikTok. TikTok allows third-party tools on LIVE. What it restricts is how a stream comes across, such as a game left running with nobody there, or repeated, mechanical requests for gifts. Stay on camera, talk to your chat, and pause the LIVE when you step away.
Do my viewers need TikPlay or Livecade installed?
No, for either one. Viewers play from the TikTok LIVE they are already watching, with comments, gifts, likes, follows and shares.
