Sometimes, live videos by TikTok dominate your FYP, and you will never see the content you actually want. In this article, we are going to look at a few steps to regain control over TikTok FYP and reduce some of the promotion of live videos.
How To Stop Seeing Live Videos On TikTok
TikTok live videos are a sort of broadcast through which people share real-time content with their followers. These types of videos on TikTok get a recommendation based on the accounts one follows, the types of content one engages in, and the videos he or she likes.
Mark as “Not Interested”
One way to reduce the presence of live videos on your FYP is by indicating that you’re not interested in such content. Follow these steps:
- Open the TikTok app on your mobile device and navigate to your For You Page.
- When you come across a live video, you’d rather not see long-press on the video.
- A menu will appear. Select the “Not Interested” option.
By choosing this option, you signal to the TikTok algorithm that you don’t want to see similar live videos in the future. It should help reduce their frequency in your feed.
Unfollow Accounts That Go Live Frequently
TikTok recommends content based on the accounts you follow. If you constantly see live videos from specific accounts, consider unfollowing them. Here’s how:
- Go to the profile of the account that frequently goes live.
- Tap the “Following” button to unfollow the account.
By unfollowing these accounts, you are telling the TikTok algorithm that you are not interested in live videos, which should help customize your FYP.
Report Live Videos
Another way to prevent live videos from appearing on your FYP is to report them. Reporting a live video indicates that you are not interested in the content and follow TikTok’s community guidelines. To report a live video, follow these steps.
- While watching the live video, tap the ellipsis (…) icon.
- Select the “Report” option.
- Choose the right reason for reporting, such as “Not Interested” or “Community Guidelines Violation.”
Reporting a live video sends a message to TikTok’s support staff that you don’t want such content on your FYP. Also, reported videos may be removed if they violate TikTok’s guidelines.
While there isn’t a guaranteed way to keep live videos completely out of your TikTok FYP, the following tips can help. You can scroll past a live video when it pops up in your feed, after all. By using these tips, you might enjoy a more streamlined experience on TikTok and find yourself seeing more of the videos you like.
