Open TikTok and navigate to the Live you want to watch. Tap the app icon with a multicolored music note and then find the Live you want to watch.- If you're currently following the account that's live, you'll see a "Live" tag above "Following" and can tap it to see the Live.
- If you don't see the "Live" tag above "Following," you can tap the Live icon on the left side of your screen to see all the live feeds on TikTok.
-
Swipe right. Drag your finger from the left of your screen to the right and you'll notice that the comments disappear!- Alternatively, tap the Share icon at the bottom of the Live and tap Clear Display . Not everyone has that option, though, so it's not a guaranteed way to hide chats.
- If you see the "Clear Display" option in the Share menu, you can also pull up that menu faster by tapping and holding the middle of your screen. When a menu opens, press Clear display .
- To show the chat after you've hidden it with any of these steps, swipe left or tap the card icon with writing on it.
