The program at a glance
Everything below comes from the official program page as shown in screenshots and walkthroughs published between late October and 12 November 2026 (sources at the bottom of this page).
| Reward | 1,000 Diamonds for the new creator who completes the mission — and 1,000 Diamonds for the creator who referred them |
|---|---|
| The mission | An onboarding mission: 60 minutes of valid entertainment LIVE, streamed with TikTok LIVE Studio |
| Deadline to finish | Within 30 days of accepting the referral |
| Prize pool | 500,000 Diamonds total across the campaign |
| Program ends | Countdown on the official page read “Ends in 14 days” on 13 Nov 2026 → ends around 27 Nov 2026 |
| What you need | A TikTok account that can go LIVE, a computer that runs LIVE Studio, and a referral to accept (invite link, QR code, or a creator's referral video) |
| Who pays you? | TikTok itself, directly. These are program rewards TikTok credits to your balance when you complete a task — they are not gifts sent by viewers or other creators |

How to do it — two ways to earn
You can earn as the new creator, as the referrer, or both. Most creators are doing Track A first, then Track B with their own link.
Get your 1,000 Diamonds
- Accept a referralOpen the LIVE Studio referral page in TikTok from a creator's referral link, QR code or referral video, and tap to accept. Do this only when you're ready — your 30 days start now.
- Install LIVE StudioDownload TikTok LIVE Studio on your computer and sign in with the same TikTok account that accepted the referral.
- Set up one sceneAdd your camera and microphone, give your LIVE a title. Keep it simple — the mission counts minutes, not production quality.
- Stream 60 minutes of entertainment LIVEGo LIVE through LIVE Studio and stay live for a full hour of entertainment content — chat, play, react, teach. One sitting is the safest way to make the minutes count.
- Check the mission pageBack on the referral page, confirm the onboarding mission shows complete. The 1,000 Diamonds are credited to your balance per the program terms.
Earn for every creator you bring in
- Open the referral pageOn the LIVE Studio referral page, find the “Refer creators. Unlock Diamonds.” section.
- Share your link or post a referral videoUse “Refer now” for your personal link, or post a referral video other creators can accept from.
- Your creator completes the missionThey accept, then stream their 60 minutes on LIVE Studio within 30 days.
- You both get paidWhen they finish, 1,000 Diamonds go to them and 1,000 Diamonds go to you — every completed referral counts, drawn from the 500,000-Diamond prize pool.
Extra referral bonuses shown on the program page
- Referral video: +50 Diamonds if it stays public for 7 days, +100 Diamonds when it reaches 3,000 views
- Referral link milestones: 3 creators → +1,000 Diamonds; 10 creators → +3,000 Diamonds; 20 creators → +5,000 Diamonds
Beyond the basic 1,000 — the full reward system (up to 18,000 Diamonds)
The 60-minute mission is only the first rung. The program page in the app — headed “Go LIVE. Unlock Diamonds.” — shows a complete tier system on top of it: the more valid LIVE time you stream, and the more Diamonds you collect from gifts during those LIVEs, the more you unlock. A creator who finishes everything takes 18,000 Diamonds ($180) from their own streaming alone, before any referral earnings.
Ladder 1 — Valid entertainment LIVE duration
Your total minutes of valid entertainment LIVE, streamed with LIVE Studio. Each milestone pays on top of the ones before it.
Duration ladder total: 9,000 Diamonds ($90)
Ladder 2 — Diamonds collected during LIVE
Diamonds you collect from gifts viewers send during your entertainment LIVEs — the program page prompts you toward the next step (“Collect 50 more Diamonds in entertainment LIVE to unlock”).
Gifts ladder total: 9,000 Diamonds ($90)
The referral leaderboard — collect more, rank higher
Referrers also compete on the program’s referral leaderboard, paid from the same prize pool. The more Diamonds you collect, the higher you rank — and the top ranks carry an extra bonus on top of everything else.
And it all stacks: the 18,000 maximum above comes from your own streaming. Referral rewards sit on top of it — 1,000 Diamonds per creator you onboard, link milestones of +1,000 at 3 creators, +3,000 at 10 and +5,000 at 20, referral-video bonuses (+50 / +100), and the leaderboard bonus — all drawn from the 500,000-Diamond pool.
Join through our referral link — we both earn 1,000 Diamonds ($10 each)
This program pays both sides: when you accept a referral and complete the 60-minute mission, you get 1,000 Diamonds and the referrer gets 1,000 Diamonds. Join through our link and that bonus comes to us instead of a stranger — it costs you nothing, and your reward is exactly the same. Every creator onboarded through a referral link also pushes the referrer toward the link milestones: 3 creators → +1,000, 10 creators → +3,000, 20 creators → +5,000 Diamonds.
Our referral link will be added here — when it is live, joining through it earns you the same 1,000 Diamonds and earns us 1,000 Diamonds too.
What are the Diamonds actually worth?
These program rewards are paid by TikTok directly at $10 per 1,000 Diamonds — the rate a creator actually received for completing the task (checked 13 November 2026). Here is every amount in this program in real money:
Honest note: Diamonds land in your TikTok balance, and TikTok's usual minimum withdrawal is $100 — so a single 1,000-Diamond reward ($10) normally sits in your balance and adds up with your LIVE gifts and other rewards until you reach the payout threshold. Treat this program as a head start and a free push to try desktop streaming, not a instant cash payout.
Before you press “Go LIVE”
The mission is simple, but it only counts if you do it the way the program asks. Run through this list first:
- Same account everywhereThe account that accepted the referral must be the one signed into LIVE Studio
- Desktop onlyThe 60 minutes must be streamed with LIVE Studio on a computer — phone LIVE minutes don't count
- Entertainment LIVEThe mission asks for valid entertainment LIVE time — be present and actually host the hour
- One full hourA single 60-minute session is the safest way to be sure the full duration registers
- Watch your 30 daysYour window started the moment you accepted the referral, not when you first stream
- Stay within the rulesFollow TikTok's LIVE and community guidelines — a restricted LIVE can void the mission
Why Diamonds don't arrive — the usual reasons
⚠ One safety warning
Only accept referrals inside TikTok itself — on the official LIVE Studio referral page, reached from the app or a creator's genuine referral link or QR code.
Because this program is trending, unrelated posts are already circulating that attach WhatsApp numbers, “earnings” screenshots and payment promises to it. TikTok never pays referral rewards through WhatsApp, never asks you to pay to join, and Diamonds are not guaranteed cash. If someone asks for money, your password or a code — it's not the program.
Questions people are asking
What is the TikTok LIVE Studio Referral Program?
A limited-time TikTok campaign for LIVE Studio, its desktop streaming app. Accept a referral and complete the onboarding mission — 60 minutes of entertainment LIVE within 30 days — to unlock 1,000 Diamonds. Referrers earn 1,000 Diamonds for each creator who completes it, from a 500,000-Diamond total prize pool.
How much is 1,000 Diamonds in real money?
$10. Program rewards pay at $10 per 1,000 Diamonds, and TikTok credits them directly to your balance — nobody gifts them to you. The bigger amounts scale the same way: 6,000 Diamonds = $60, the full 18,000-Diamond tier maximum = $180, and the full 500,000-Diamond pool = $5,000 spread across all creators.
How many Diamonds can I earn in total?
Up to 18,000 Diamonds ($180) from your own streaming: the duration ladder pays +1,000 at 60 minutes, +3,000 at 300 minutes and +5,000 at 600 minutes of valid entertainment LIVE (9,000 total), and the gifts ladder pays +1,000 when you collect 50 Diamonds during LIVE, +3,000 at 500 and +5,000 at 1,500 (9,000 total). Referral rewards — 1,000 per creator onboarded, link milestones (+1,000 at 3 creators, +3,000 at 10, +5,000 at 20) and the +5,000 leaderboard bonus — come on top of that.
When does the program end?
The official program page showed “Ends in 14 days” on 13 November 2026, which puts the end of this round at about 27 November 2026. TikTok can change or extend campaigns, so treat the countdown inside your own TikTok app as the final word.
Can I do the 60 minutes in several shorter streams?
The mission is stated as completing 60 minutes of LIVE within the 30 days. The program page tracks “valid entertainment LIVE duration,” which suggests time accumulates — but the safest approach is one full 60-minute session, then check the mission page to confirm it registered as complete.
Do I need a referral, or can I join on my own?
The 1,000-Diamond onboarding reward is built around accepting a referral — that's what makes both sides earn. Referral links and QR codes are being shared widely by creators right now (every creator wants the matching 1,000), so finding one is easy; just make sure it opens the official page inside TikTok.
What is TikTok LIVE Studio?
TikTok's free desktop streaming application for PC. It lets creators stream to TikTok LIVE from a computer with a camera, microphone, screen sharing and scenes — the same category as OBS, but built by TikTok and linked directly to your account. This referral program exists to get more creators streaming from desktop.
Why don't I see the referral page?
Availability varies — the campaign doesn't appear for every account or region, and you need an account eligible to go LIVE. If the page doesn't open for you, your account isn't included in this round. Don't pay anyone who promises to “activate” it for you.
