TikTok needs its creators to be the great entertaining app that it is.

This especially applies to its livestreamers, who bring in ad revenue for the company.

These updates help make Live safer and more fun for those creators.

The push for Live is obvious to creators.

The company has also launched new guides in theTikTok Creator Portalfor hosting good Live videos.

This helps the creators get more popular and TikTok gain more users.

Streams with more people are also just more entertaining, so everyday users also benefit from this feature.

Younger teens who have created a following by going live on TikTok will need to pivot their strategy.

TikTok really wants to get more hosted on the app and more users watching them.

This will help the company make more money.

Giving creators and users both safety and more entertainment will make these videos a bigger part of the app.

At least, that is what TikTok is hoping.

Users will have to wait and see if these changes actually have a positive effect or not.
