How To Turn Off Tiktok Comments On Live

Hey there, TikTok enthusiast! Grab a coffee, let's chat about something that's been bugging you, right? Those live comments, they can be a hoot, but sometimes, you just wanna be the sole star of your own show. So, how do you turn 'em off?

Why Would You Want To?

I mean, I get it. You're not looking for a live Q&A session every time you go live. Maybe you're trying out a new dance move and you're not ready for the world's critique just yet. Or maybe you just wanna chat with your BFFs without the fear of some random user crashing the party. Whatever your reason, I've got your back.

Before We Start

First things first, you can't turn off comments completely. TikTok's all about interaction, after all. But you can make your life a little easier by managing who can comment. So, let's dive in!

Oh, and a little heads-up, this trick only works on the app. So, if you're reading this on your laptop, you might wanna grab your phone. We'll be here when you get back!

Let's Get Started!

Alright, so you're on the app now. First, you wanna tap on your profile pic at the bottom right corner. That's your gateway to all things 'you' on TikTok.

Now, tap on the three little lines at the top right corner. That'll open up your settings menu. Scroll down until you see 'Privacy and Safety'. Tap on that, you're doing great!

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Tap on 'Who Can Send You Messages'. See that 'Everyone' option? That's what we're gonna change. Tap on it, and you'll see a list of options. Here's where you can choose who can send you messages, and thus, comment on your live videos.

Who Can Comment?

So, you've got a few options here. You can choose 'Everyone' if you're feeling brave, or 'No One' if you're not quite ready for the spotlight. But if you're like most of us, you'll wanna choose 'Friends'. That way, only people you've friended on TikTok can comment on your live videos.

But wait, what if you wanna chat with your BFFs, but not everyone else? Well, TikTok's got you covered there too. You can choose 'Friends of Friends'. That way, only your friends and their friends can comment. It's like a little exclusive club!

And if you're really feeling fancy, you can even create a custom list. Tap on 'Custom' and you can add specific users who you do (or don't) want to be able to comment. It's like your own personal VIP list!

But Wait, There's More!

Alright, so you've chosen who can comment. But what if you wanna block someone specific? Maybe they've been leaving some, shall we say, 'less than stellar' comments. Well, TikTok's got a block feature for that too!

Just go back to your profile, tap on the three little lines, and tap on 'Privacy and Safety' again. This time, tap on 'Blocked Users'. Tap on the '+' at the top right corner, and you can add anyone you want to block. They won't be able to comment on your live videos, or even see them at all!

And That's A Wrap!

And there you have it, folks! You're now a TikTok commenting master. You can manage who can comment on your live videos, block users, and create your own little commenting community. Isn't that just the best?

So, go forth, TikToker! Go live, dance your heart out, and know that you're in control of who gets to chime in. And hey, if you ever need a little more help, or just wanna chat about the latest TikTok trends, you know where to find me. Happy dancing!
