How TikTok Gifts Work During LIVE Streams

Learn how viewers buy Coins, send LIVE Gifts, trigger animations, and support eligible creators without confusing Coin cost with creator payout.

TikTok LIVE Gifts are virtual items viewers activate with Coins during an eligible LIVE stream. The Gift can display an animation, identify the sender in the LIVE experience, and contribute to rewards TikTok calculates for an eligible creator.

How viewers send a LIVE Gift

  1. The viewer opens an eligible TikTok LIVE.
  2. The viewer opens the Gift panel and checks the current Coin price.
  3. If needed, the viewer purchases Coins through an offer shown by TikTok.
  4. The viewer selects and sends a Gift.

What happens after a Gift is sent

The Gift consumes the displayed number of viewer Coins and can trigger an on-screen effect. TikTok separately calculates any Diamonds or rewards for the creator under its current rules. The creator payout is not the same thing as the viewer's Coin purchase cost.

Why Gift prices and availability differ

Gift catalogs can vary by country, season, event, and account context. Coin bundles also vary by country, purchase channel, tax, and promotion. Always confirm the current panel before spending.

How interactive games use Gifts

BeetGames Launcher can map exact Gift names to gameplay actions such as pushes, obstacles, wins, monsters, or visual effects. Viewers do not install anything; the streamer runs the Launcher and game.

Start with the gift-to-game setup guide, then use the current gift catalog to confirm names and Coin prices.

Official rules

Eligibility, purchases, refunds, Diamonds, and withdrawals are governed by TikTok's current Virtual Items Policy for the user's region.
