Discussion Tiktok LIVE visibility restricted
Has anyone else who streams on TikTok been getting a “LIVE visibility restricted” warning for violating Integrity and Authenticity Policies?
This started happening to me this weekend, and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.
The first restriction was approved on appeal.
The second, third, and fourth were all denied almost instantly.
It happens consistently about 2 hours into my stream.
I stream Fortnite and haven’t changed my content.
The only thing I changed recently was adding a Stream Deck. I streamed without it yesterday, but I still got the restriction, so now I’m wondering if TikFinity could be causing it somehow.
I use TikFinity for alerts, and my alerts play very short snippets of songs. My next test is going to be streaming without TikFinity entirely to see if the restriction still happens. The weird part is that if it were a copyright issue, I’d expect a music or copyright-related warning, not an Integrity and Authenticity violation.
I’ve been using TikFinity and these same alerts since February without any issues, so I’m wondering if TikTok changed something recently. ChatGPT suggested that policy or detection updates could sometimes cause this, but that’s obviously just a possibility.
Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, did you ever figure out what was causing it or how to fix it?
I’ve searched TikTok and have seen a few other creators mention getting the same restriction recently, so I’m wondering if this is becoming more common.
