Q1: How many moderators can a creator assign to a TikTok LIVE session?
A1: A creator can assign up to 30 active moderators per account. These assignments remain linked across broadcasts until manually revoked through the management menu.
Q2: Can a moderator mute or remove another moderator during a broadcast?
A2: No. Moderators cannot moderate, mute, or remove other team members. Only the channel owner holds the authority to adjust staff roles, manage permissions, or revoke administrative access.
Q3: What happens to a muted user once the broadcast ends?
A3: Timed mutes expire automatically when the set duration ends or when the host closes the stream. If a moderator uses the permanent block option, that user remains barred from viewing future broadcasts until manually unblocked via the host control panel.
Q4: Do comment keyword mute lists apply retroactively to existing chat history?
A4: No. When a creator adds terms to the keyword mute list, the platform hides only subsequent messages containing those phrases. Existing comments remain visible unless manually deleted by an active moderator.
