If you’re tired of seeing livestreams while scrolling, you may be wondering how to stop LIVE videos on TikTok FYP. While TikTok doesn’t offer a single button to completely remove LIVE content, there are effective ways to reduce or almost eliminate them from your feed. In this guide, you’ll learn how to stop LIVE videos on TikTok FYP step by step.
Why You See LIVE Videos on Your FYP
On TikTok, LIVE videos appear because:
- You’ve watched or interacted with LIVE streams before
- TikTok is promoting trending streams
- Your activity suggests interest in that content
Method 1: Tap “Not Interested”
This is the most effective method.
Steps
- When a LIVE appears on your FYP in TikTok, press and hold the screen.
- Tap Not Interested.
- Select Hide LIVE videos (if available).
Repeat this a few times to train the algorithm.
Method 2: Skip LIVE Videos Quickly
- Swipe past LIVE videos immediately
- Avoid watching, liking, or commenting
This signals to TikTok that you’re not interested.
Method 3: Clear Watch History
Resetting your activity can help.
Steps
- Go to your profile on TikTok.
- Tap ☰ (menu) → Settings and privacy.
- Tap Activity center.
- Select Watch history.
- Clear your history.
Method 4: Use Content Preferences
Steps
- Open Settings and privacy in TikTok.
- Tap Content preferences.
- Adjust filters or preferences if available.
This helps limit unwanted content types.
Method 5: Block or Mute Frequent LIVE Creators
If specific accounts keep appearing:
Steps
- Open the LIVE video.
- Tap the creator’s profile.
- Tap Block or Not interested.
Method 6: Turn Off LIVE Notifications
While this doesn’t remove them from FYP, it reduces interruptions.
Steps
- Go to Settings and privacy on TikTok.
- Tap Notifications.
- Turn off LIVE notifications.
Tips to Reduce LIVE Videos Faster
