During TikTok livestreams, the comments section is displayed, allowing viewers to interact. The ability to remove this comment stream from the screen exists, offering a cleaner viewing experience. This action solely affects the individual viewer’s screen; the chat remains visible to other participants and the livestreamer.
Removing the chat overlay provides an unobstructed view of the live content. This is beneficial for those who find the constant stream of comments distracting or those who prefer to focus solely on the visual aspect of the broadcast. Historically, platforms have offered options to customize the interface, and this feature aligns with that trend by granting users control over their viewing preferences.
