Are you trying to pin a comment on a TikTok live? If so, this guide will explain exactly how!
It’s useful to pin a comment or message on a TikTok live because you may have a message you want to share with everyone who joins the live. So, we will show you how to do this!
Lets get right in to this!
1. Go live on TikTok
Firstly, you need to go live on TikTok.
So, tap on the Create button in the middle of the navigation bar at the bottom of TikTok.
This will launch the TikTok camera.
At the bottom of your screen, there will be a carousel of options. You will need to scroll along until “Live” is selected.
Then, you can title your live if you would like, and you can also add effects or enhancements.
When you are ready, you can tap on the red “Go Live” button.
Now, you will be broadcasting live to TikTok!
2. Wait for a viewer to join
Next, you need to wait for a viewer to join.
When you go live on TikTok, your followers will be notified, so it may take a minute or two for them to start joining.
However, if you don’t have many followers or they don’t seem to be joining, you should ask a friend to join your live.
Alternatively, if you have another device, you can create another TikTok account and join your live with it if no-body joins.
You can move on to the next step once you have one viewer watching your live.
3. Pin a comment
Once a viewer has joined your live, you will need to ask them to wait for them to leave a comment.
This will show that they are active and participating.
If you want a certain message pinned to your live, you will need to to ask a viewer to ask a question.
From your viewers perspective, they will need to tap on “Q&A” at the bottom of the screen, next to the “Add a Comment” button.
Alternatively, you can use another device with a different TikTok account to ask a question.
Then, the viewer will be able to ask a question.
Next, the viewer will need to type in the question box what you want the message to say. For example, we made our pinned comment “Check out the link”.
Once the viewer has sent the question, you will be notified in the chat, that a question has been sent.
Next to the question, there is a pin icon. Tap on it.
You will need to confirm you are ready to answer the question.
As you can see, the question is now in a white box pinned at the bottom of the live. All of your viewers will be able to see this, so it’s a great way to broadcast your message.
The question will remain there until you change it, so you can keep it pinned there.
However, if you don’t get a notification, you will need to manually find the question.
You need to tap on “Interact” with the speech bubble above it and then the Interaction menu will launch.
Now, you need to tap on “Q&A”.
You will see all of the questions that have been asked on this live, and you can select one.
The question you select will be pinned at the bottom of the live.
Change the pinned comment
Of course, you can change what question is pinned as well.
So, if you want a different question or comment pinned, you will need to ask a viewer to submit another.
