What are Diamonds in TikTok LIVE Studio?

TikTok LIVE Studio’s unique monetization method includes diamonds. With these, users can earn money real-life money from viewers.

Diamonds are TikTok’s virtual currency for creators, and when someone has built up enough to equal $100, they will be able to withdraw that money via the app to a bank account.

Creators earn diamonds when viewers send gifts during their broadcasts. Gifts are small sticks stickers that will be displayed on your livestream and offer a small financial kickback. These aren’t free to send, so users who want to support their favorite creators with gifts must purchase them using in-app coins.

To activate LIVE gifts on your stream, you’ll need to be 18 or over. You can find out more about gifts here.
