How Ti.Live works, step by step

There is no sign-up screen at the front door of Ti.Live. When the page loads, the site quietly creates a guest session for you in the browser. That session is enough to watch live rooms, make matches and send messages. Down the line, connecting a sign-in option in settings lets your follows and coin balance travel with you to a new phone or laptop.

Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox all run Ti.Live on phones and computers alike. Want a neon icon beside your other apps? The Ti.Live app guide walks through it.

Everything on Ti.Live starts with one of two choices. Watch live opens the Live tab of the online list, where every card is a host streaming right now. Start match takes you to the match page, where the matcher pairs you with one new person for a private chat. You can go back and forth between them as often as you like; one never locks you out of the other.

Open any card on the Live tab and the stream fills your screen. Swipe up or down to hop to the next room; the previous one closes behind you. The room chat runs along the bottom, and anything you type there can be read by the host and the other viewers. Gifts float across the screen when someone sends one, and hosts sometimes set a goal or a wish they are collecting gifts for.

Some rooms have an entry rule. A gift-ticket room asks for a small gift to come in, a followers room opens once you follow the host, and a members room is for people who have bought coins before. The entry panel always shows the rule first. And if a stream turns into a conversation you want to continue privately, the button at the bottom of the room starts a one-on-one video call with the host.

Press Start match and Ti.Live finds one person who is also waiting. Before matching you can choose video, voice or text. It is a two-seat room; nobody else can join or peek. If they write in another language, tap the message to translate it into yours.

At the top of the match page sits the Reward Center. New visitors start with free matches, and while you stay online it keeps handing out more, several times a day. When your free matches are used up, you can wait for the next drop or use coins. Exact amounts and timings are adjusted from time to time, so we explain the idea rather than quote numbers; the free page covers coins in detail.

People you follow appear in your list, and you can message them later, see when they are online, or notice when a host you follow goes live. If anything goes wrong at any point, the report and block buttons are always one tap away; is Ti.Live safe explains what happens next.
