TikTok tests Twitch-like subscription system

TikTok is beginning testing a new feature that it thinks will help creators generate continued revenue. The new feature, called Live Subscription, will allow viewers to subscribe monthly to live-streaming creators for a fee.

Subscription fee not disclosed

A new video shared on the TikTok Live Creator page shows that the platform will begin testing a Twitch-like feature. With a viewer subscribing to the creator, the Live Subscription feature will offer the viewer benefits such as subscriber-only chat, exclusive emoticons, and badges that distinguish them from non-subscribers.

TikTok did not make any statement regarding the subscription fee. It is also unknown whether he will receive commissions from subscription fees.

TikTok will launch its Live Subscription this week. The feature will be in the testing phase for a while, and the company will make the feature available to all creators who meet the criteria after receiving feedback.
