TikTok Live stats: see who watched, chatted and gifted on every stream

A live leaderboard while you stream, a minute-by-minute recap afterwards, and analytics that show your best time to go live and who keeps coming back.

A BoTik stream recap: peak viewers, unique viewers, diamonds and followers tiles above a minute-by-minute viewer chart

TikTok tells you how a LIVE went in a handful of totals. It does not tell you the minute the room filled up, who sent the gifts that carried you, whether tonight’s chat was there last week too, or which evening your stream actually does best.

BoTik is already listening to your live chat to read it aloud, so it counts as it goes: every viewer who chats, taps or gifts, every minute of the stream. You get a live leaderboard while you stream, a full recap when you stop, and analytics across all your streams.

Where the numbers come from

the recap and your analytics

Nothing to set up: if BoTik is connected to your LIVE, the stream is recorded.

While you are live: the leaderboard

As soon as BoTik connects to your LIVE, a Live leaderboard card appears on the Go Live page. The top row is the room right now: viewers (with the peak so far), likes, diamonds and new followers.

Three tabs: who was read aloud most, who tapped most, who gifted most.
  • Speakers — the viewers BoTik read aloud the most: the people carrying the conversation.
  • Likers — your tap-tap champions.
  • Gifters — the top five by diamonds, so you can thank the right person by name without scrolling back through chat.

Thank people while it still matters

A thank-you is worth most in the minute after the gift. Keep the Gifters tab open — or let a Stream Deck “Thank gifter” key say {lastGifter} for you.

After the stream: the recap

When the LIVE ends, or you press Stop, the stream is saved. Open Streams in the sidebar, or follow Stream recap from the leaderboard card, and pick a stream.

The Streams page History tab: a list of streams with date, duration, peak viewers, diamonds, likes and new followers
Every stream you went live with BoTik, newest first.

A recap opens with Highlights: a few plain sentences about what stood out — when viewers peaked, your best gifting minute, how much of your diamonds came from your top supporter, how many viewers took part. The numbers follow.

Minute by minute

The minute-by-minute chart of viewers across a two-hour stream, with two shaded bands marking PK battles
Switch between viewers, likes, diamonds, comments and follows. Shaded bands are PK battles.

The chart answers the useful questions. Did viewers leave when you switched games? Did the room fill up when the challenge started? Did gifting spike during the battle and drop right after? Hover any minute to see its numbers, or open Show as table.

Who showed up

Top viewers ranked by diamonds with Followed and Subscribed badges, next to the gifts received and what each was worth
Badges mark first-time viewers and who followed or subscribed during this stream.

Top viewers ranks everyone who took part — by gifts, likes, chat or messages read aloud — and counts how many were new and how many came back. Gifts received shows which gifts arrived and what each was worth. If you battled, that stream’s battles are listed underneath with the score and the result.

Returning viewers are the number to grow

A smaller stream where more people came back is usually a better stream than a spike of strangers who never return. Those regulars are who will be there next time.

Across all your streams: analytics

The Analytics tab adds up every stream in a period — the last 7, 30, 90 or 365 days — and compares it with the period before: streams, time live, average peak viewers, diamonds, new followers, comments and engagement rate.

The Analytics tab with totals for the last 30 days and a bar chart of peak viewers, stream by stream
Totals for the period, then one bar per stream. Switch the bars to diamonds, followers or hours.

Your best time to go live

Two bar charts of average peak viewers: by day of the week and by hour of the day
Faded bars come from a single stream, so read them with care.

BoTik averages the peak viewers of the streams you started on each day and at each hour, in your own timezone. It waits for at least eight streams with viewer counts before showing anything, because two streams on a Tuesday say very little about Tuesdays.

Note

This is your audience’s best time, not TikTok’s. Generic “best time to go live” charts average millions of accounts in other time zones; yours is built from the people who actually watch you.

Loyal supporters and top gifts

Top supporters for the period, each with the number of streams they joined, next to the gifts that brought the most diamonds
“Streams: 15” means that viewer was there for fifteen of your streams.

Your audience counts the engaged viewers in the period and splits them into new, returning and loyal — the people who turned up for three streams or more. Top supporters ranks them by gifts, likes or chat across the whole period, with how many of your streams each one joined.

Those are the names worth knowing. Give them a voice of their own, thank them on stream, and notice when one of them goes missing.

Good to know

  • Stats start when BoTik connects. Connect when you go live so the first minutes count. TikTok replays a little recent chat whenever something connects; BoTik does not count it twice.
  • Unique viewers comes from TikTok and covers the whole LIVE, including any part before BoTik connected.
  • A dropped connection does not split the stream. When BoTik reconnects to the same LIVE, the recap carries on where it left off.
  • Streams from before stream stats show their totals, with a dash for the numbers that were not tracked yet.
  • Detail is kept for a year. The minute-by-minute chart and the viewer lists are kept for 365 days; a stream’s totals are kept for good.

Go live with BoTik once and your first recap is waiting when you finish. If you battle, the TikTok Battles guide covers the live scoreboard and the battle history that sit next to these stats.
